Yes, the last recipe I posted was also “mexican inspired”, and yes so is this one. Sorry but I can’t help it. I guess I’m in a bit of a phase. With that said, you guys should know now that I LOVE quesadillas. It’s not the first thing I would order if I were out dining, but I will take a home made quesadilla any time of day. My midnight snack is usually a quesadilla with just cheese, onion and jalapenos- the BEST!
I tried something a little different with these quesadillas and filled them with the most tender tandoori flavored chicken! I love adding chicken in yogurt because it really makes the chicken taste like its been marinating for over 24 hours, which frankly I don’t have the time for.
I normally would serve these with a cilantro jalapeño sauce but I was in the mood for something a little different yesterday. Lucky for me, I’ve been on a fresh juice kick so I had a LOT of fruit on hand to choose from. I took one look at the pineapple sitting in my fridge and decided to try and make a pineapple salsa! The longer the salsa sat, the juicier and tastier it became! It’s sweetness and brightness was a perfect compliment to the smokiness of the tandoori chicken.
Try it for yourself ? Happy eating!










Looks yummy! How can you make a vegetarian version? Substitute the chicken with tofu or paneer?
hey Dhvani! Yes, you can cube the paneer and marinate the same way the chicken gets marinaded and then bake it or saute it just like following the chicken recipe!
This looks delicious…I’m definitely going to have to put this on the menu for dinner this week for my husband and I! Is the “thetcha garlic chutney” something that comes pre-made or something you have to make?
Hey Rachel, not sure what happened but there used to be a photo of the thecha chutney in my blog post and it has now mysteriously disappeared! Its a small red packet that can be found at any South Asian or Indian grocery store. The brand is Prakash and it sells for 99 cents. A lot of Indian people have a garlic chili paste they make at home and keep but this store bought version is delicious and even better than homemade I think. I throw a little bit of it in so many dishes- you will love it!
