Indian tandoori marinade is yogurt and lime based. Marinate the meat overnight for the best taste. The meat then can be grilled or even baked or pan seared and then cooked. You are in for a real treat with Indian Tandoori cooking. It is not a coincidence that tandoori chicken is a most popular dish in an Indian restaurant.  It is one of the best ways to turn your simple backyard entertaining into an exotic affair with amazing taste. Even in India we do not have tandoors at home, but the taste can be recreated in the kitchen as modern ovens and cooking appliances have progressed since ancient times.

Indian Tandoori

Tandoori is a style of food named for the Tandoor a clay oven that it is cooked in. The combination of meats and spices is cooked over a hot charcoal fire or wooden fire . Temperatures in a tandoor can approach 480°C (900°F), and it is common for tandoor ovens to remain lit for long periods of time to maintain the high cooking temperaturet. While you might not be able to get the same temperatures you can certainly make great, authentic Indian dishes on your grill.Tandoori spices and Tikka spices are the seasonings for Indian grilled and barbecued meats.  I have created the most amazing tandoori spice blend with autentic herbs and spices just like my ancestors did in our punjabi home in India. These seasonings are a great addition to  America's most famous past- time the barbecue.   Enhance meats with my tandoori spice blend and enjoy. 

1. Clean large chicken pieces. Prick it with knife or fork all over and make slits diagonally.
2. Apply our tandoori spice blend, salt and lemon juice all over the body and marinate it for 30-45 minutes.
3. Churn in the yogurt and add ginger, garlic and green chilli paste and mix well. Pour this yogurt mixture over the chicken and toss so that it gets coated well all through, with the paste. Force some mixture in the slits. Marinate it for 6-7 hours or overnight.
4. Brush the chicken with gheel. Then put it in a grill and cook for about 20 minutes (almost cooked). Finally baste the chicken with ghee and again roast it until fully cooked.
5. Traditionally tandoori meats are seasoned with lime juice after the meats are ready and they are serve on a bed of red onion rings.

Tandoori Blend OR Paste- For this Blend has ginger, garlic, cumin ,coriander and other aromatic spices. Perfect in a marinade with a yogurt base for grilled or barbecued Tandoori or Chicken Makhani dishes. Tandoori dishes are great served with warmed buttered naans, chappati and other flat breads and a crisp salad.

Tikka Paste - Tikka paste is a marinade for cubes of chicken vs. the tandoori which is a marinade for large pieces of chicken.  Tikka is grilled chicken which is soft and succulent and moist unlike tandoori which is drier.  Marinated tikka chicken is put in a butter sauce making it Tikka makhanwalla or in a masala sauce making it Tikka Masala curry

Garam Masala or Blend - Garam (warming) masala is the most important blend of spices and added to north Indian tandoori and is a popular blend which may be used in Indian tikka, tandoori or barbecue.  

Freshly prepared ginger, garlic and (green chilies - optional)  are a must in Indian barbecues -but rarely is it convenient in todays fast moving lifestyle.   Indian homes generally have prepared pureed ginger, garlic and green chilies handy in the refrigerator - as it is such an integral part of Indian cooking. Powdered ginger and garlic are poor substitutes, as it lacks the juice and the crispness of fresh ginger. The time taken to peel and chop your ginger and garlic or to compromise your recipe, is saved with this very simple solution, pureed ginger and garlic  in a jar.  These may also be used in any Asian stir fry dishes or to flavor soups, lentils and beans.
