Tandoori Chicken Crepes
Tandoori chicken crepes are a modern fusion dish that combines the rich spices of Indian cuisine with European crepes. Tandoori seasoning originally comes from North Indian cuisine, where the combination of yogurt marinade and intense spices gives the meat its characteristic flavor. Crepes offer a great alternative to naan bread, which is traditionally served with Indian dishes. This dish is a perfect choice if you want something quick, satisfying, and exotic. The yogurt marinade not only makes the meat more flavorful, but also helps to keep it juicy. If you want to make it even spicier, you can add a pinch of chili powder.

Preparation Steps
1
Cut the chicken breast into smaller strips to ensure even cooking and that every bite is flavorful.
2
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, tandoori spice blend, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3
Toss the chicken strips in the marinade, and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
4
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through.
5
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the crepe batter: in a bowl, mix together the flour, eggs, milk, and sparkling water. Whisk until smooth, and let it rest for a few minutes.
6
Grease a skillet with a little butter, and cook the crepes over medium heat. Cook on both sides until golden brown.
7
Place a portion of tandoori chicken in the finished crepes, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and roll up or fold in half.
8
Serve warm, possibly complemented with yogurt sauce or fresh vegetables.
