Even while this tamale pie dish has very little in common with its Mexican counterpart, it is nonetheless incredibly tasty.

Made as instructed (except kept in fridge for 1 day instead of 2 days) and absolutely loved it. My wife does not like things too spicy and she loved this. I thought the heat was great, served it on naan bread, with some feta and tzatziki. I can’t wait to make these again, and am anxious to try them on the grill too. So good. Thank you!!

I rated it a 3 because I couldn’t find the main ingredients. Where would I find the tandoori paste?

I thought these were very tasty. I found a recipe for tandoori powder online so I used that in this recipe. It wasn’t very spicy so next time I make these, I will add more. I served this on naan bread and used some mango chutney on top
