A very complex and original mixture of spices called “tandoori masala”. Her homeland is distant India. However, it managed to spread throughout the world. Moreover, its specific composition depends on the manufacturer. The classic Indian tandoori masala includes ginger root, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, black cardamom, ground coriander, as well as bay leaf, cumin, nutmeg, fenugreek seeds, nutmeg, shamballa, ground black pepper, onion, salt, garlic, mustard.

As you can see from the list, the mixture is very complex and interesting. It has an unusually original, refined aroma and taste.

The origin of the name of this spice mixture is interesting. It is known that "tandoori" is a cylindrical clay traditional Indian oven. And “masala” means mixture. This means that tandoori masala is a mixture of spices for cooking various dishes in a traditional Indian oven - tandoori. There are a great many options for tandoori masala. You can buy it in a store or market. But if you want to get a classic mixture, buy from Indian producers or prepare it yourself.

Tandoori masala is a rather spicy mixture of spices. It is used to prepare meat and poultry dishes. Chicken cooked with this spice mixture is popular in India. In other countries it is also used for cooking shish kebab and barbecue.

Traditional Indian chicken is prepared with kefir, lemon juice and coriander leaves. A spicy tandoori masala mixture is required. But kefir can be easily replaced with yogurt - it depends on the preferences of the cook.

But you don’t have to limit yourself to chicken. You can prepare an excellent dish in this way from almost any meat. It all depends solely on your imagination and culinary preferences.

Tips from the chef

If you love hot spices, or just want to try the classic tandoori masala, be sure to find this blend made in India. In other countries, manufacturers tend to change the recipe.

If spicy dishes are contraindicated for you, or you simply do not like very hot spices, give preference to European versions of tandoori masala. They are softer and not as sharp.

You can also prepare tandoori masala yourself. Then you can be sure that the standard is met. Or, conversely, change the taste a little according to your needs.

Chicken cooked with tandoori masala according to the Indian recipe turns a beautiful orange or red color at the end. Don't be alarmed, this is how it should be.

The bird (whole or in parts) is marinated in yogurt with a special multi-component mixture of seasonings called tandoori masala, and then baked in a special tandoori oven. In a clay fryer over high heat, the chicken cooks very quickly, it turns out with a smoky aroma, juicy, with a pronounced spicy taste and a breathtaking spicy aroma.

Today I will tell you how to cook tandoori chicken at home, in a regular stationary oven. For pickling, you can buy ready-made seasoning at an Indian spice store or supermarket. Or prepare tandoori masala with your own hands from the spices that you probably have in your kitchen. I slightly adapted the recipe so that the set of spices would be hot and spicy, but not as hot as is customary in Indian cuisine. If you wish, you can, of course, increase the amount of chili pepper by 2-3 times, but keep in mind that then the chicken will be “spicy”, very, very spicy!

Total time: 13 hours / Cooking time: 40 minutes / Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

• chicken legs 2 pcs.
• kefir or unsweetened yogurt 0.5 tbsp.
• grated ginger 0.5 tbsp. l.
• garlic 2 teeth
• lemon 1 pc.
• salt 2 tsp.
• ground coriander 2 tsp.
• ground black pepper 0.5 tsp.
• chili powder 1 tsp.
• turmeric 0.5 tsp.
• ground paprika 2.5 tsp.
• dried herbs 0.5 tbsp. l.
• ground cumin 1 tsp.

Preparation

I wash the chicken legs and dry them with a towel. Then I remove the skin and make deep cuts every centimeter - this way the meat is better saturated with spices and bakes faster.



Then I combine in a bowl: freshly squeezed juice from half a lemon, as well as 1 teaspoon each of salt, hot red chili pepper and ground paprika. I mix everything well.



I rub the chicken meat with the resulting spicy marinade so that it is completely saturated with it. Leave for 30 minutes at room temperature.



In the meantime, I’m preparing a fermented milk marinade in which the bird will be baked. To do this, I combine the juice from the remaining half of a lemon and kefir (you can use unsweetened yogurt). I add ginger and garlic, finely chopped. I add the remaining salt and all the spices. Stir until smooth.



I generously coat the chicken legs with the resulting aromatic marinade so that it penetrates all the cuts. Then I place the chicken legs in a bowl, pour in the remaining marinade and put them in the refrigerator for 12 hours (by the way, the original Indian recipe suggests marinating the chicken for 8 hours at room temperature - you can try this option).



After 12 hours, I take the chicken out of the refrigerator and place it on a wire rack, placing a baking sheet underneath in case any marinade drips drip off. While the bird has warmed to room temperature, there is just time to preheat the oven. I set the temperature to 200 degrees.



Bake for 40 minutes until fully cooked. Be guided by your oven - cut the leg along the tendon, if no blood oozes out, but a clear liquid comes out, then the meat is ready.

Tandoori chicken should be served hot, or simply with herbs and slices of lemon (or lime). In India, the dish is traditionally served with naan, rice, cucumber salad, fresh or grilled vegetables, fried corn on the cob and mint yogurt.

So, tandoori masala seasoning

Masala is an element without which it is difficult to imagine Asian cuisine, which is a mixture of special spices traditional for India. It was from this country that this culinary mix of spices began to spread throughout Asia. The translation of the word “masala” from the ancient Indian dialect sounds like “spicy mixture”. It is impossible to talk about a single standard for masala: each region has its own options for preparing this “tandem” of spices, which Indians add to any types of fish, meat and vegetables.

Tandoori masala is distinguished by its purpose: food is coated with this mixture before baking in a tandoor, or a traditional Indian clay oven, in which locals have been preparing a variety of dishes for many centuries. Tandoori masala composition may vary from one region of Hindustan to another: it is affected by the culinary and herbal characteristics of the regions.

Different places on the peninsula grow their own herbs and spices, which are combined in different ways for tandoori masala, which can be bought in the homeland of this mix, in India. There is also a classic recipe for mixing ingredients, according to which tandoori masala is unthinkable without such components as ginger root, cardamom (including black), fenugreek, shamballa, cloves, chopped coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, aromatic black pepper, salt, bay leaf, mustard, as well as extractive garlic and onion.

Tandoori masala, whose composition is very rich and complex, has a unique Indian flavor and rich aroma, but this mix is ​​also quite spicy. On the peninsula, sweet, sour or spicy food is traditional, so meat and fish are prepared for baking in a clay Indian tandoor, coated with spicy spices.

Tandoori chicken recipe

It is recommended to buy tandoori masala both for salads and as a spice for vegetables. In India, they prepare and love chicken tandoori masala, which is marinated in a spicy mix before baking in a clay tandoor. Seasonings when heat treated in the oven become crispy and especially aromatic, forming an appetizing crust on the chicken, and the dish itself acquires a delicate smell, juiciness and rich taste. You can purchase these spices immediately in the form of a ready-made mixture, so as not to have to find out the required proportions for the mix from local chefs in India.

You can make a marinade for the tandoori chicken masala dish using kefir or another sour milk drink, adding a tablespoon of spicy “cocktail” to a glass of liquid, as well as fresh coriander and a little citrus juice (lime or lemon), a couple of spoons is enough. After keeping the meat in this mixture for a couple of hours, always in the refrigerator, you can safely grill it in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees, fry it in a grill pan or bake it on a grill or other open fire, for example, on a barbecue.
