Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1.5 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup Plain yogurt (full fat)
  • 2 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Tandoori masala
  • 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Chili powder (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • 1 piece Mango (diced)
  • 1 cup Red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 cup Red bell pepper (finely diced)
  • 1 piece Jalapeño (seeded and minced)
  • 1 cup Cilantro (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 8 piece Corn tortillas (small, street-style)
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Warm the tortillas according to package instructions. Fill each tortilla with grilled tandoori chicken and top with mango salsa.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For a smokier flavor, use a charcoal grill.
  • 💡Add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream on top of the tacos for extra creaminess.
  • 💡Adjust the amount of jalapeño in the salsa to control the spice level.
