Indian fusion recipe for Christmas and other parties — Tandoori Chicken Salad Pinwheels are festive, fun and super popular at parties!….and shhh….super easy with this recipe below 🙂

“Oh! I said I would get an appetizer to tomorrow’s party?” …“Yes of course I remember”…Does that sound familiar? With so many gatherings and potlucks this time of the year it is so easy to forget, isn’t it? I hear ya!

So here is the perfect appetizer to take to any gathering! The Tandoori Chicken Salad Pinwheels are super easy to make, can be made ahead of time and don’t need any reheating.

Tandoori chicken made the traditional way may become tough and rubbery in this salad. Hence I added the tandoori chicken masala to the cooked and shredded chicken breast. This salad is low fat but tastes creamy and yummy and the red peppers and scallions juxtapose superbly in the pinwheels!

For the wraps, you may use store bought or try the Turmeric and Cumin Roti Wrap. The filling in that recipe is a great vegetarian alternative too.
