About
Tandoori chicken is a well-known Indian dish originating from the Punjab region. It gets its name from the traditional clay oven, or 'tandoor', in which it is cooked. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt and various spices, resulting in a flavorful and juicy dish. Tandoori chicken is famous for its distinct red color which comes from the use of Kashmiri red chilli powder or paste. It goes well with mint chutney and is typically served with naan or rice.
