Make Juicy , smoky, restaurant style Tandoori Chicken at home with my step-by-step recipe! No artificial colors, spice secrets, and my personal twist


 

Juicy homemade tandoori chicken grilled in oven.


Tandoori Chicken: A Culinary Journey from Tradition to Table-:Roasted Chicken is just a name, Tandoori Chicken is an emotion. Chicken marinated in yogurt, Kashmiri red chili powder, fresh ginger-garlic, Spices and garam masala, and then grilled to perfection! It’s Tandoori Chicken at its bestTandoori Chicken isn't just a dish—it's a symphony of flavors that transcends time.  Originating from the heart of Punjab before India's independence, this iconic delicacy was popularized by Kundan Lal Gujral at the famed Moti Mahal restaurant in Peshawar.  By introducing marinated chicken to the traditional tandoor, he revolutionized Indian cuisine, giving birth to the smoky, succulent Tandoori Chicken we cherish today. 

In my kitchen, I've embraced this legacy, crafting a version that's both authentic and accessible.  Marinated in a rich blend of hung curd, Kashmiri red chili powder, fresh ginger-garlic paste, and aromatic spices, the chicken is then oven-roasted to perfection.  The result? Juicy, flavorful pieces with a delightful char, reminiscent of traditional tandoor cooking. 

Served alongside crisp onion rings, a sprinkle of fresh coriander, tangy lemon wedges, and a refreshing mint-coriander chutney, this dish is a testament to the timeless allure of Indian flavors.
