Chicken Tandoori is a popular dish in the INDIAN subcontinent. It is prepared by roasting the chicken marinated in yogurt and tandoor spices.
It originates from the region of PUNJAB and PESHWAR(now Pakistan). It can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish.
Cayenne pepper, red chilli powder or kashmiri chilli powder is the prime spice used to get a fiery red color.
