How to Make Tandoori Paste

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dry mustard powder, 1 tbsp ginger powder, 1 tbsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp fennel seeds, 2 tbsp cumin powder, and 1 tbsp paprika.
  2. Pulse until ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly add 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 cup plain yogurt until a smooth paste forms.
  4. Transfer the paste to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (longer is better!).
  5. Use as a marinade for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. Also excellent as a dry rub before cooking.
