Delicious Tandoori Paneer skewers with vegetables and Tandoori chicken skewers with vegetables made with same marinade.
Disclosure: I received samples from Smokin-O's BBQ Smoke Rings as part of #RecipeMakeover . #ad .However all the opinion are mine.
What is Tandoori Food?
Indian cuisine is really vast but coming to grilling or using oven only few dishes are there. Tandoor is earth oven commonly used to make Indian flat bread, tandoori vegetables, paneer (Indian cheese) and chicken. Mainly tandoori recipes are from North India especially Punjab. Since tandoor is not available here, tandoori paneer and vegetables and tandoori chicken are made using grill. I made both tandoori paneer skewrs with vegetables and tandoori chicken in a grill.
I have received Smokin-O's BBQ Smoke Rings as a part of #RecipeMakeover. They sent me 3 wood rings you can use it in gas grill which will increase the flavor of food you are grilling. These are Smokin-O's BBQ Smoke Rings -, Original, Smokin-O's BBQ Smoke Rings - 100% Mesquite Wood, and Smokin-O's BBQ Smoke Rings -, 100% Applewood. Since I don’t have gas grill, I asked my friend if I could use her grill and she immediately said yes. First we planned to grill lot of stuffs, later decide to make only few of them. LikeTandoori paneer skewers with Vegetables and grilled corn for me and Tandoori chicken for my friend and hubby.
I marinated both paneer and veggies and chicken for 3 hours and took it to her house, and we started heating the gas grill and put smoke rings then next game was to waiting for the smoke to show up in the smoke rings. We were like kids watching every few minutes that event is happening or not. Finally smoke showed up and we put paneer and vegetables and chicken on the grill. After 5 minutes on the grill, each paneer was cooked well and sure original smoke rings added some flavor while tasting I can feel that.
For grilling chicken I used 100% apple wood Smoke Rings. My friend and hubby told me they tasted great. Coming to the recipe I used a common marinade for both. I made marinade with tandoor masala, paprika, pepper, salt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic past and Greek yogrut. I didn’t add any oil. Simple yet flavorful recipe.
For corn I just grilled it and then add salt and cayenne pepper if you don’t want skip this step and just grill the corn and enjoy.

I love trying new products and now I'll be on the lookout for the smokin' rings. We grill so much this would really add to our grill flavorings. I would say that we grill 90% of our meals in the warm weather. Can't wait to try the rings and your chicken looks fantastic. I think the flavors are just the kind we'd enjoy.
