tandoori sauce
notes
we used this as a simmer sauce and it came out out delicious but sort of gritty. i feel like if we had run the dry spices through a food processor and turned everything flour-smooth, this would've been perfect.
  ingredients
Greek Yogurt :Two cups 
Garlic :Four Teaspoons, grated 
Ginger :Four Teaspoons, Grated 
Lemon :One, Juiced. 
Cumin :Four Teaspoons 
Coriander :Four Teaspoons 
Turmeric :Two Teaspoons 
Garam Masala :Two Teaspoons 
Paprika :Two Teaspoons 
Olive Oil :¼ Cup 
   instructions
4 .  Combine your dry seasonings into a bowl and stir them into your sauce gradually until smooth.  
5 .  Now you have tandoori simmer-sauce! If you are simmering raw cubed chicken in it, it'll take about twelve minutes or so to thoroughly cook. But you could notionally use this as a barbecue marinated, or for tofu or vegetables too. Vegetables don't cook super evenly when it comes to simmering though, so I would use something like a crockpot for vegetables, so they are all "fall apart yummy". I don't think a pot will get you there.  
1 .  Add your yogurt to a pot. Add your olive oil and stir until smooth.  
2 .  Juice your lemon — you can do it onto a dinnerplate, which lets you pick out the seeds very easily. Add it to your yogurt and olive oil.  
3 .  Using a zester, grate your ginger and garlic into a paste. Add it to the sauce.
