What's a Tandoor or Tandoori?

Tandoori Chicken is a spicy roasted chicken made in a Tandoor and seasoned with spicy yogurt and curry based sauce. Tandoori or Tandoor is an earthen oven used in India. It usually gets very hot, around 800 F, inside it. Tandoor barrel-shaped and run by using coal which burns at the bottom and heats clay interior.

The best substitute for Tandoor will be a closed charcoal grill. You can also use an oven, but it should be your last resort

Tandoori Chicken is also spelled as Tanduri chicken or Tandori Chicken.

Ingredients:

10 pieces of chicken (drumsticks and/or breast with skin removed) 

1 cup plain yoghurt

Preparation:

Mix all spices with yogurt and butter to make marinating sauce.

Prick the chicken and apply the sauce. Cover chicken and marinate overnight inside a refrigerator (at least 4 hrs).

Grill the chicken in regular way. (For better result, apply melted butter to the chicken just before you grill.)

Cook chicken until brownish (or way you prefer)
