Chicken Tikka Masala with Nutmeg and Cinnamon Smoke on the Grill

[JCMach1]

MMMMMM...

Love the masala of course, but just discovered by accident the power of nutmeg smoke... I didn't have any mesquite, so I added nutmeg seeds! Result, absolutely fabulous... as good as mesquite but with a slight spicy flavor...

I read-up and discovered that others had done this too and I wasn't just whacked and also found to combine it with cinnamon sticks.

So today...!

Note, this would be a rather expensive experiment in the States. Here, the spices would be about the same price as the mesquite or other wood chips.

1. wish I could have some....

I have this weird stomach ailment, and I can hardly eat at all, so I get to smell the smoke, but I don't get to eat the chicken. Sigh.

2. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it's Call Me Wesley's night to cook.

I'll just go ahead and add nutmeg seeds to my shopping list. :hi:

3. Sounds yummy! One thing I like to do is grill or bake chicken with

peach/mango salsa. It's also wonderful with salmon! :9

4. Chicken was stripped of skin and marinated in plain yogurt

and masala overnight...

6. Good idea

My dad loves nutmeg and love grilling things with wood smoke even more. I'll pass this along to him.

7. soak the nutmeg seeds and cinnamon bark in water to stretch out the smoke...
