Tandoori Chicken Legs With Coconut Rice

"This is a very simple recipe which tastes great and smells wonderful while cooking as you get the spicy smell from the tandoori and the sweet smell from the coconut rice. It does not take long to prepare you can either toss chicken in yogurt and tandoori paste and get cooking or if you want to infuse marinate for a few hours. So it is a great after work fast meal or throw it all in zip lock bag in the morning before you leave and just pop it in the oven when you get in."

  1. This was fantastic - the combination of corriander and tandoori was delicious and very easy to make. We didn't have coconut cream on hand this time around, so it was left out, but the results were still delicious.
     
  2. This was fantastic and easy too! I used boneless skinless chicken thighs but left everything else the same. I placed the chicken in the marinade before I left for work in the morning and took it out when I got home. It did smell wonderful, especially once I started the rice. Thanks for posting another great recipe!
