Tandoori Marinade

For chicken,lamb and beef,this marinade can not be beat!!! This is an Indian marinade compiled of yogurt and spices! Although the meat can be cooked in the oven,it is WAY better to use your grill!
One word of caution! DO NOT marinade your meat in Tandoori for more than 4 hours! The acid in the yogurt will turn the toughest cut into mush!!!

ingredients:
1 cup plain yogurt
3 tbls olive oil
2 tsps minced garlic
2 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground tumeric

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add and toss the meat(my favorite is lamb-chops).
let stand for 2-4 hours(NO MORE)tossing occasionally to keep the meat coated.

Place on a preheated grill and flip every 2 or 3 minutes to get a nice dark crust(not burnt)(if using bone-in chicken pcs, sear on both sides and move to the top grate away from the to ensure it is cooked through.)
Beef and lamb -cook to desired doneness!
Serve this with rice,twice-bakes or just a salad and a nice wine and dine just like a king!
