This exciting fusion recipe for Tandoori Chicken Roulade features Chicken breast marinated in Tandoori Masala, and stuffed with a Spinach and Paneer mixture. This takes the roulade to a whole other level.
I’m always thinking of new and exciting ways to spin old recipes. Tandoori Chicken is a srong favorite and stuffing it with an exciting filling gives it a new and sophisticated twist.
Chicken breast is best used for this preparation. It’s sturdier and will hold up better compared to boneless thigh meat.
In the interest of keeping this simple, I used store bought Tandoori Masala but you can also find my special homemade blend here.
