Tandoori Chicken 

The chicken is marinated in yougurt and seasoned with the spice mixture tandoori masala that is considered moderately piquant in North India and Pakistan, but too spicy in most Western nations.

In milder versions, both red and yellow food coloring  are sometimes used to achieve bright colors, but turmeric powder is both mild and brightly colored, as is paprika, a sweet red pepper powder.

Tandoori chicken originated in the Punjab before the independence of India and Pakistan.

In India, tandoori cooking was traditionally associated with the Punjab and became popular in the mainstream after the 1947 partition when Punjabis resettled in places such as Delhi. In rural Punjab, it was common to have communal tandoors.

Tandoori Chicken is an outstanding spread that “NO” one can deny to have dis beauty and @ ma home no one miss da chance to have dis terrific chicken. Chicken is a favorite spread for ma princess Danica and she love the bake one specially more than the red meat.

I love the deep red color alwys to tandoori and sometimes i made green it is alwys yummy too. Love the Marination with yogurt and with all ingredients and dry oregano it’s really made a terrific combo and overnight marination is terrific i alwys prefer for overnight marination.
