Tandoori chicken is a classic of North Indian cuisine that captivates with its intense flavor and juiciness. The whole chicken is marinated in a rich mixture of yogurt, lemon juice and traditional spices such as garam masala, turmeric, chilli, ginger and garlic. The marinade penetrates deep into the meat, softening it and giving it a characteristic aroma.

After marinating, the chicken is baked in a tandoor oven at high temperatures, which gives it a beautiful red color, slightly smoky flavor and a crispy outer crust, while the inside is perfectly soft and juicy.

Served with lemon, red onion, refreshing yogurt sauce and traditional Indian bread like naan or roti.
