Tandoori
Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish that is made by marinating chicken in yogurt and spices and then cooking it in a tandoor, or clay oven. The dish is believed to have originated in the Punjab region of India and is now popular all over the world.
The word “tandoori” comes from the Hindi word “tandoor”, which means “clay oven”. The tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven that is used for cooking in many parts of India, Pakistan and Nepal. It is usually fired with charcoal or wood, and the food is cooked by the intense heat that is generated.
The first tandoori chicken recipe is thought to have been created by Kundan Lal Gujral, who was the owner of a restaurant in Delhi, India called Moti Mahal. Gujral is credited with popularizing the dish, and he is said to have invented it in the 1920s.
