Order link in bio. It's been a rough couple of weeks for our family so we've been making a number of our favorite comfort dishes over the past few Sundays. One thing we always find comforting is roasted Tandoori chicken (which is why we feature them frequently). We also have way too many Meyer lemons, so this week's Clay Oven at Home meal will feature our Zafrani Tandoori Chicken: A whole Mary's air-chilled organic chicken marinated with saffron and homegrown Meyer lemon juice, mesquite-grilled. We love this version of our Tandoori chicken as it is something Praveen used to make when we worked for the Sultan of Oman over 40 years ago. Vegetables this week include roast JR Organic cauliflower with ginger and turmeric as well as South Indian-spiced potatoes with onions and mustard. There will also be a mint yogurt raita, roasted tomato-garlic chutney, rice, and naan bread topped with onion seeds.
