About Our Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori Chicken is one of the most iconic dishes in Indian cuisine, originating from the Punjab
region and now beloved around the world. At Aashirwaad Sweets And Restaurant, we prepare this
classic dish using traditional methods and our authentic clay tandoor oven. The process begins
with a carefully crafted marinade – fresh yogurt mixed with ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice,
and a blend of aromatic spices including cumin, coriander, garam masala, and paprika for that
signature red color.
The marinated chicken is then skewered and placed in our tandoor oven, which reaches temperatures
of up to 900°F. This intense heat creates the characteristic smoky flavor and slightly charred
exterior that tandoori dishes are famous for, while the yogurt marinade ensures the meat stays
incredibly moist and tender. The result is chicken that's bursting with flavor – smoky, spicy,
tangy, and absolutely delicious. We serve our Tandoori Chicken with fresh mint chutney, sliced
onions, and lemon wedges for an authentic experience.
Why Choose Our Tandoori Chicken
What makes our Tandoori Chicken exceptional is our traditional clay tandoor oven and authentic
preparation methods. Unlike tandoori chicken cooked in conventional ovens, our tandoor-cooked
version has that distinctive smoky flavor and perfect char that can't be replicated any other
way. We use fresh, high-quality chicken, marinate it for the right amount of time to ensure
maximum flavor penetration, and cook it fresh to order. This is tandoori cooking at its finest
– traditional, authentic, and absolutely delicious.
