Would anybody like to share their favourite tandoori paste recipe! Or do you use a pre made paste with yoghurt! Thoughts & ideas happily accepted :o)

This is what I make.I know that red colouring is traditional but I prefer not to use it, so this paste doesn't give the classic lurid red colour.
3/4 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp sweet paprika 1/2 tsp turmeric 1 & 1/2 tsp chili flakes, 10 turns fresh ground black pepper 1 cup full fat plain yogurt juice of one lime or lemon 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
Enough for one large chicken cut into 8 pieces, or 8 legs and thighs.Marinate at least 24 hours, up to 48 hours.
I don't have a tandoori oven and I cook this on the barbecue over high heat.

I cheat and buy Sharwood tandori paste. Follow the recipe on it but adjust if you need to. Add a squeeze of lemon. Yum. Marinate ovenight if you can otherwise an hour or so.
