I separated this Tandoori Spice Blend from the Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower post because it’s so versatile it’s worth a post of it’s own. I can see myself using this in various dishes and thankfully the recipe made enough to for us and to share with Shelby.
I also learned that a coffee grinder is one powerful little gadget. Yes, the cinnamon sticks go in whole and come out as part of this blend. Pretty amazing.

Thanks so much for the Tandoori recipe as I hate to eat too much of coloring as those Tandoori chicken sold in shops are covered with red coloring. I will try out the Cauliflower Tandoori soon.
