Chicken Tikka Masala with Nutmeg and Cinnamon Smoke on the Grill

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.

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

6. Good idea

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