Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, curry powder, honey, turmeric, cumin, and coriander until the spices are evenly mixed.

Step 2

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

To use the marinade, pour it over your protein of choice (such as chicken, lamb, tofu, or vegetables) in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.

Step 7

Massage the marinade into the protein to ensure it is fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 8

Once marinated, cook the protein according to your desired method (grill, bake, sauté, or roast) and enjoy the sweet and tangy curry-infused dish!
