About Roast tandoori chicken

Roast Tandoori Chicken is a flavorful dish deeply rooted in Indian cuisine, renowned for its vibrant spices and smoky aroma. This dish features chicken marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika, which give it its iconic red-orange hue. Traditionally cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor, the chicken develops a tender texture and charred exterior. Packed with protein, Roast Tandoori Chicken is a nutritious option, especially when skinless cuts are used. The yogurt in the marinade adds probiotics, promoting gut health, while the spices provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, it may be high in sodium due to the seasoning mix, and added butter or oil during preparation can increase calorie content. Opting for grilling or baking and using minimal added fats can make this dish a healthier choice without compromising the rich, bold flavors.
