• Meanwhile, pick curry leaves and roughly chop. • In a heatproof bowl, add curry leaves and the butter and microwave in 10 second bursts, until melted. • When the potatoes are done, pour curry leaf butter over potatoes, tossing to coat.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tandoori chicken, with some finding it delicious. The curry leaf butter on sweet potatoes was a hit for some, though others found it overwhelming.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for busy days. Some suggested marinating the chicken longer for better flavour absorption.
  • Suggestions: Consider air frying the chicken for a crispy result. Some preferred fresh garlic over garlic paste for a more authentic taste.
  • Leftovers: The salad greens tended to wilt quickly, so it's best to prepare just before serving.
  • Portions: A few found the chicken serving small for four adults, while others wanted a larger salad portion.
