Tandoori Spice Blend is inspired by the traditional recipe for tandoori chicken, a widely celebrated dish with a popular flavor profile in Indian cuisine. The heat from cayenne pepper is tempered with warm spices, savory garlic, and citrus from lemon peel.

Tandoori is a beloved cooking style in India that is found all throughout Central Asia, allegedly originating in Persia. It consists of preparing a meal in a tandoor cylindrical clay oven over a charcoal fire. The oven is buried in the ground up to its rim, allowing for it to reach optimal temperature and the meat to grill quickly and at very high heat. Many Indian dishes utilize the tandoori-style including naan, the most popular bread in Indian cuisine. Still, tandoori chicken, also known as tandoori murgh, is the community favorite. A skinless whole chicken is marinated in yogurt and a flavorful bright-red spice blend and then cooked to perfection in the tandoor oven to create this dish that’s become globally recognized and enjoyed for its unique flavor and tender meat.

This sweet and spicy blend makes cooking your own traditional-style tandoori chicken at home fun and simple. Tandoori Spice Blend can also be added to yogurt to make a tandoori-style marinade for lamb, fish, or vegetables.
