- 1 pound, peeled and cut into sticks
- Greek yogurt
- 1 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, tandoori masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.

Tips
- For an extra kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper into the marinade.
