Typical uses for Tandoori masala:
  1. Tandoori Marinade: Tandoori masala is commonly used as a key ingredient in marinades for meats, such as chicken, fish, or lamb. The masala, mixed with yogurt or lemon juice, creates a flavourful coating that tenderises the meat and infuses it with a smoky taste.
  2. Tandoori Paneer and Vegetables: Tandoori masala is equally delicious when used with paneer or vegetables. The masala is mixed with yogurt or a marinade paste and then applied to the paneer or vegetables. Grilling or baking them imparts a delightful charred flavour to the dish.
Recipes: Tandoori Chicken: Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken pieces (bone-in)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder (optional, for extra heat)
  • Salt to taste
  • Vegetable oil for basting
Instructions:
  1. Make deep cuts in the chicken pieces to allow the marinade to penetrate.
  2. In a bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, and salt.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray lined with foil.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, basting with oil halfway through.
  6. For a charred effect, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot with mint chutney, naan bread, or rice.
