Tandoori Spiced Chicken With Tomato Ginger Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Combine all spices and the oil in a medium bowl to make a paste. Rub a thin layer of the spice paste onto 1 side of each chicken breast. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and just cooked through. Remove from the grill, let rest 5 minutes, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve openface on pitas: the chicken slices, a few dollops of Tomato Jam, and a drizzle of Herbed Yogurt.
• Heat grill to high. Brush tomatoes and serrano with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes and serrano on all sides until charred. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill or on the side burners. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the tomatoes, serrano, balsamic vinegar, and saffron and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
• Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind to a fine powder. In a food processor, purée onion, garlic, and ginger to a fine paste, 30 seconds.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion mixture and cook until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in spice mixture and turmeric. Let cool completely, then stir in yogurt and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt.
• Rub some of yogurt mixture all over chicken; then gently separate skin from breast and rub more under skin on each side. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
• Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking (push coals to one side of a charcoal grill, or turn off one side of a gas grill after preheating). Brush grates with oil. Place chicken over indirect heat, bone-side down, with legs closest to heat source. Cover grill and cook, maintaining a temperature of about 400°F, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (nearest but not touching bone) registers 150°F, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to direct heat and cook, uncovered, flipping a few times, until charred in places and just cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Let stand 15 minutes before serving with chutneys, pickles, cucumbers, and mint.

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F. Mix yogurt, tomato paste, paprika, coriander, and 2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes.
• Rub a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. oil. Arrange chicken on sheet, making sure there's space around each piece.
• Toss squash, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. salt on another rimmed baking sheet and spread out into a single layer.
• Roast chicken on upper rack and squash on lower, tossing squash halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and starting to char in spots, and squash is fork-tender and golden brown around the edges, 15-17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, purée scallions, lime juice, ginger, 3 cups cilantro, 3 Tbsp. water, and remaining ¼ cup oil and remaining 2 tsp. salt in a blender until smooth.
• Divide rice among bowls. Top with sauce, chicken, squash, and cilantro leaves, if using. Alternatively, serve chicken, squash, rice, and sauce separately for any picky eaters at your table, or keep the sauce on the side entirely.
• Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Chicken and squash can be roasted and sauce can be made 2 days ahead; cover and chill separately. Reheat chicken and squash in a 300°F oven before serving.
