A great tandoori chicken recipe for the little ones. I have to say I am very proud of this one! This homemade chicken nuggets recipe is quite simple and has a few ingredients that are easy to find.
I have to admit it is far too easy to grab a bag of nuggets and hope our little ones (or even us ) are getting at least some chicken. The thought of making homemade chicken nuggets never really crossed my mind until the weaning process began. When I was younger it was considered okay to have frozen nuggets but for me, I want to give my daughter food that I know what exactly has gone into it.
With a little experimentation I added the taste of an Indian meat staple.
