About Tandoori chicken leg

Tandoori Chicken Leg is a popular dish from Indian cuisine, known for its bold flavors and vibrant color. Prepared by marinating chicken legs in a mixture of yogurt and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic, and chili powder, the dish is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a clay oven, which gives it a smoky aroma and juicy texture. High in protein, it can be a nutritious option when served skinless and paired with fresh vegetables or whole grains. The spices used not only enhance flavor but may also offer anti-inflammatory and digestion-supporting properties. However, some recipes may include additional oils or high-sodium marinades, and over-charred portions can contain harmful compounds. Balanced and responsibly prepared, Tandoori Chicken Leg combines robust taste with potential health benefits, making it a flavorful addition to a meal.
