We picked up 3 kinds of chicken - Tandoori, Pudina Mint and Malai. The very lovely staff assured us that the Mint and Malai were not spicy, but the Tandoori would have a kick. We also picked up 2 butter chicken samosas for The Mister and I for a treat.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">We grilled the chicken up for Sunday Dinner with The Grandpa, along with some veggies, a mint yogurt sauce, a tomato salad and some mini naans.</p><p style="text-align: center;">It was all AMAZING, although the Mint was a bit kicky, the Malai was just flavorful, and the Tandoori was just spicy enough to make you reach for your water glass.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmouOXNF-sZX_MvOguxEJza2zl98Ts64ttVEK55mSnwLXXHPOlxEwS2YjE_BMvHT5E3MKYrWhp5iPrCd3jHTkANcxBU8L8hu2ZkAkp2nbJntqyZgOWAXfHxfeudyJ5QsymZXlzMt2aqI_-0PV_h65oy1gCPn2ToZssqtpGbNuMjZ1dDJZbZfPoA/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_5887.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinmouOXNF-sZX_MvOguxEJza2zl98Ts64ttVEK55mSnwLXXHPOlxEwS2YjE_BMvHT5E3MKYrWhp5iPrCd3jHTkANcxBU8L8hu2ZkAkp2nbJntqyZgOWAXfHxfeudyJ5QsymZXlzMt2aqI_-0PV_h65oy1gCPn2ToZssqtpGbNuMjZ1dDJZbZfPoA/w300-h400/thumbnail_IMG_5887.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I thought, in my humble opinion, that the 2 sauces went extremely well with all the flavors, and the naan and anything else you wanted to serve it with.

I've returned to working in the office part time and having to get up and attempt to look presentable, get out of the house and be gone all day AND be around <shudder> people all day, THEN go home and make dinner and get ready to do it all over again is.... a lot.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I'm tired, stressed, sad..... lots of stuff. And lots of stuff has had to fall to the side - like meal planning and trying to be healthy and doing anything after 8 at night.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We've ordered Hello Fresh boxes for the past 3 weeks to get through the weeks but this week coming up we bravely decided to plan our own meals but have been ignoring the actual planning so far.
