Indian Barbeque Chicken

Indian Barbeque Chicken
Need This recipe is typical of Indian cuisine. A mixture of meat tenderizer, yogurt, ground coriander, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so delicious. To use up the ground turmeric you could follow this main course with the Cherry-Filled Lemon Cake as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 9 hours.

Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Indian. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. One wine you could try is Pratsch Organic Gruner Veltliner. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.
