30–40 Minutes
Classic tandoori chicken is famous for its bright red color. A combination of the spices in the marinade and the blistering heat of the tandoor oven, it’s impossible to recreate at home. For Sunbasket’s spin, Chef Justine seasons yogurt with Oaktown Spice Shop’s earthy (and deep red) beet powder. The delicious result doubles as a marinade and a sauce.

1
Cook the rice
In a pot, combine the rice and 1½ cups water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let stand. While the rice cooks, prepare the chicken.

Prep the chicken and yogurt sauce
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Cut them into 12 even pieces.
- Cut the lemon in half; juice half and cut half into wedges.
- Finely chop enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice and half the garlic. Add half the yogurt sauce and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
