Ingredients
- Kiwi
- 4, peeled and sliced
- Yogurt
- 1 cup, plain
- Tandoori masala
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Chaat masala
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish)
- Cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the plain yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, grated ginger, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the sliced kiwi to the marinade, gently tossing to ensure each slice is thoroughly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the kiwi is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

- Remove the kiwi from the grill and sprinkle chaat masala over the top for an added kick of flavor.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve the Tandoori Kiwi hot as an appetizer or a unique snack that is sure to impress your guests.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Feel free to substitute kiwi with other fruits like pineapple or peaches for a different flavor profile.
- Pair with a refreshing raita (yogurt sauce) to balance the spices.
