"It was very tender and juicy delicious. It had depth of flavor and was very tangy. The only way I could improve this recipe would have been grilling it on the grill. Though arguably untraditional, I can imagine the delicious charring of this sauce would have taken it over the top! I thought it resembled if not tasted better than the tandoori I have had in restaurants. First time I made tandoori was a success!

My boyfriend had never taste tandoori or any Indian inspired before. He liked it but it didn't knock his socks off. I had him describe it in three words and he picked: Surprising, Tender, Recommendable."

"This rice was so good! It was more like a meal than a side dish. So much flavor! For the "tomato sauce" I pureed one can of whole tomatoes and then reduced it a bit in a pan, then measured out the 3/4 cup, added it to the rice as directed, and used the rest as a topping when the rice was finished. I also didn't have a fresh jalepeno so I used a few slices of pickled. I also didn't have a red onion so I used a regular yellow onion. Delicious. It really makes a lot too. "
