About Tandoor chicken

Tandoori Chicken is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, celebrated for its bold flavors and vibrant appearance. Marinated in a blend of yogurt and aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, the chicken is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, giving it a smoky flavor and charred texture. This preparation method results in tender, juicy meat with a rich, spicy aroma. Nutritionally, Tandoori Chicken is a good source of lean protein and contains fewer calories than fried alternatives. The marinade’s yogurt base adds probiotics, which can support gut health, while the spices offer potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, depending on preparation and portion size, the sodium content and use of oils can sometimes be higher. Pairing it with whole-grain sides and fresh vegetables makes for a balanced meal that combines taste and nutrition effectively within a healthy diet.
