Ingredients:
– 4 chicken breasts, skinless
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons tandoori masala spice blend
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, tandoori masala spice blend, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.

2. Add the chicken breasts to the yogurt mixture, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an indoor grill pan, lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

4. Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the grill is heating up.

5. Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

6. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the mint sauce by combining a handful of fresh mint leaves with a splash of water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

7. Serve the grilled Tandoori Chicken hot off the grill, garnished with fresh mint leaves and a drizzle of the mint sauce on top.
