Description
Tandoori chicken is a chicken dish prepared by roasting chicken marinated in yogurt and spices in a tandoor. Tandoori chicken masala is the mix of spices that is used for cooking this delicious North Indian dish. This spice blend was invented by a man named Kundan Lala Gujral in the early 20th century in a small restaurant in Peshawar, Pakistan. Modern tandoori masala blends often include red food coloring to give the chicken a brighter color. The food dye known as Red 40 is the most widely used coloring agent in modern tandoori masala. Older versions used the combination of red chili powder and turmeric to produce a duller red-orange color. Tandoori masala’s ingredients have always varied from cook to cook or from brand to brand when using commercial premixed blends, but most are built on a foundation of the spices used to make garam masala. Tandoori chicken masala is an essential ingredient for exotic chicken recipes like tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala.
