Tandoori Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potato and Mint
Introduction
As a child, I ate vast quantities of this at Indian restaurants or at friends’ barbecues, and have tried to come up with my own version ever since. It isn’t the lurid red that I remember, as that’s almost always food colouring, but you’ll get a lovely colour and flavour from smoked paprika.
