This easy tandoori chicken recipe has just a few steps: Mix tandoori chicken marinade. In a large bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Marinate.
The low carb tandoori marinade helps tenderize the tandoori chicken. The longer you leave it to marinate, the more intense the flavor will be. Packaged tandoori paste often contains sugars, stabilizers and wheat, none of which you want to be eating on keto. By making your own tandoori marinade you eliminate all these extra carbs.

Yogurt is used for the tangy flavor and to make the chicken more tender. I found that using yogurt in the marinade left a terrible mess on the grill that took forever to clean. This no yogurt tandoori marinade leaves the chicken just as tender and melt-in-your-mouth without all the mess. No food coloring in this tandoori.
