In this lesson, Carla picks up where she left off in her last Mindbite: "How to Make Tandoori Chicken," with how to make two new dishes using your leftover Tandoori Chicken. These simple recipes and instructional will show you how to make a light and healthy Tandoori Chicken Salad and an unbelievably delicious Butter Chicken Curry. If you somehow managed to have any leftovers from your scrumptious Tandoori Chicken meal, we guarantee this will take care of what’s left. Your friends and family will be licking their plates clean!

Carla began cooking Indian food at the age of 15 and went on to hone her skills at the best Indian cooking school ever - her mother’s kitchen! She has adapted these recipes to life in America, developing homemade curry pastes, spice mixtures and cooking sauces that make Indian cooking fun, fast and convenient. The Spice Route Homemade Indian Cooking classes aim to demystify Indian cooking, and prove that Indian cuisine is about SO much more than curry powder!
