Indian recipe

Roughly chop the green chilies, with or without seeds, depending on your desired spiciness. Grate the ginger and squeeze the garlic cloves. Blend the yogurt, chilies, ginger, and garlic in a blender until very smooth. Then add the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Use the mixture immediately for specific tandoori dishes or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This is an original recipe from India. It is very flavorful and can be varied from mild to hot. It can be used as a marinade for meat, fish, shrimp, or poultry dishes before they are baked in a hot oven (tandoor).
