Tandoori Chicken (ft The Indian Mobile)

We have weird neighbours. There is this one group who live right next to our house who we are very fascinated with. They always go past in a big red van, playing blaring Indian music. We can't help but peek out the window everytime they do that. So much so that we've even given them a nickname: The Indian Mobile. For some inexplicible reason, they always ALWAYS bring a couple of buckets with them whenever they come. We've been itching to find out what's inside! Is it food?!! Concrete?! (It looks like a pail you use in construction -_-;) Who knows? Can you help us figure it out? ;)

Anyway, back to dinner. Today, Hadi cooked Tandoori chicken. He marinated the chicken in the marinade since yesterday, so it was quite flavoursome. Once upon a time, he would just dump anything and everything into the marinade, but following the advice of one of our uncles, this time, he just used plain yoghurt and garam masala. I think there was probably a bit too much yoghurt though. Oh well. You should use at least a grill for this, but since ours isn't working very well, we roasted it instead. Turned out quite well, except that the bottom was not crisp, as it should be.

Not that I am an expert in Tandoori chicken. This is only my second time eating it, since I'm not really fond of the taste. Never ate it in Brunei, since there was always other dishes :P So I have no idea what makes a good Tandoori chicken. All I know is, it tastes like Tandoori :P

And the people from the Indian mobile, if you happen to read this by some weird coincidence, do stop by and tell us what IS in those buckets :P
