David, we love the spit-roasting attachment on our grill. But I would love to have an actual tandoori oven on the deck. Imagine all the things we could make!
It's been in the air, the smell of BBQ recently. The smells from the tandoori would be even better. I love to come home from work and cook tea on the BBQ, you've got to seize your moment or be adventurous, plan a BBQ and get the tarpaulin out!
I love your kind of outdoor food.
The weathers just perfect for a B.B.Q. David. I'm sure our B.B.Q. will be creaking when hubby pulls it out to use. Your Tandoori Turkey Sticks Raita are perfect for the summer season of eating outdoors.
I'm glad to hear that you are getting some good weather this summer. Needless to say, it's been blistering here, so our BBQ always gets plenty of use. I'm always on the lookout for good BBQ recipes, and this sounds fabulous.
Great Blogging Mr Hall. Could almost taste them!!! Davie C
Sounds like a lovely option for a BBQ, David - nice and light, and refreshing with that raita, too.
