Description
Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish made by marinating chicken in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs, then cooking it in a tandoor (a traditional clay oven). The marinade typically includes ingredients like garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, along with yogurt, which helps tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavors.
The chicken is usually marinated for several hours or overnight to absorb the spices fully. It’s then cooked at a high temperature, resulting in a slightly smoky, crispy exterior while keeping the interior juicy and tender. The dish gets its signature red color from the spices, especially the use of chili powder or sometimes food coloring.
Tandoori chicken is often served with naan (flatbread), rice, and a side of mint chutney, making it a flavorful and satisfying meal. It’s enjoyed in many parts of the world, both as a main dish and an appetizer.
