Authentic Tandoori Chicken

One of the things I've learned over the years in Indian culture is how important it is to spend quality time with your family. It could be around a camp fire at night, playing family board games for hours, or just about anything that brings everyone together. One of the favorite ways to get everyone together is around the dinner table. I have had more meaningful conversations with my hubby and his family around the table than anywhere else.There's something about breaking bread with the people you love.This is exactly why I've gone out of my way to learn how to make Indian food with my in laws. I've always wanted them to know how important their culture is to me and I even saw my own love for Indian culture grow as I became more invested.Now, my husband and I find ourselves in our own kitchen teaching all of our friends how to make Indian food and having the time of our lives in the process!
