Please check after 30 minutes that they are fully cooked, or use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.<br>2. **My yogurt is flavored. Will that affect the taste? -** Yes, that will affect the taste. Please use plain unflavored yogurt, and add salt to taste.<br>3. **How do we eat these meals? -** Once you have made the chicken, rice, and the sauce, all you need to do is combine them in one bowl and mix well. It’s that simple!<br>4. **Do I have to marinate the chicken? -** Marinating the chicken will make it moist and prevent it from drying in the oven. So please marinate for at least 30 minutes, but you can marinate for longer if you prefer.<br>5. **I don’t have tandoori masala powder. What can I use instead? -** If you don’t have tandoori masala powder, you can use garam masala powder instead.<br>6. **I don’t have cumin powder. What can I use instead? -** If you don’t have cumin powder, you can drink cumin seeds and use instead.<br>7. **Can I drink this for 30 days? Is it healthy? -** It is completely healthy to eat these meals for 30 days. This recipe gives you all the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat) that you need in a day, and they will also keep you full for 3-4 hours.
