Tandoori Chicken in Newbury Park, CA
Marinated chicken shaped by aromatic spices and traditional high-heat cooking
Tandoori Chicken is one of the best-known Indian preparations defined by yogurt marination, aromatic spices, and intense high-temperature cooking. The tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven with deep roots across Central and South Asian cooking and became particularly associated with Punjabi cuisine. Chicken is typically marinated with yogurt, ginger, garlic, spices, and seasonings before being exposed to high heat that develops roasted edges. Unlike a gravy-based curry, the dish gets much of its flavor from the marinade and cooking method rather than a finished sauce.
