Grilled tandoor chicken pairings

Okay, okay... I know the OBVIOUS answer is an off-dry reisling, but I am looking for other suggestions. I'll also be making some indian spiced grilled prawns, and a grilled red bell pepper/tomato/sweet onion salad (it's grilling time, finally!).

I've been drinking a lot of GV lately, which I think would also work... And I thought about some bubbles - prosseco?

Oh yeah, $15 and under, I'm on a strict wine budget enforced on pain of yellow tail by the DH.

Thanks!

    Gewurztraminer would be my first pick (maybe not an absolute match with the salad, but great with your proteins). Your Prosecco idea would be just peachy, too.

      Yup, I picked up some Prosecco yesterday... I agree I think GW is the way to go too... I know it's all the rage right now, but I just haven't really found a off-dry (or sweet, imo) riesling that I actually like. I like GW b/c it has some residual sugar but a nice kick of spice so it doesn't taste too much like grape juice...

      Here you go -- I recalled that this question had come up several times before -- the search revealed eight mentions:
