The last time my parents visited, my Mom showed me how to prepare gravlax (Swedish: "gravad laks", German: "Gravad Lachs"): Salmon cured with sugar, salt and dill.
While authentic Tandoori Chicken should of course be cooked in a tandoor oven, a charcoal grill or a broiler can also do a nice job.
Using chicken thighs (or drumsticks) instead of a whole chicken speeds up the actual cooking while not sacrificing flavor.
