About Tandoori chicken tikka

Tandoori Chicken Tikka is a classic Indian dish known for its bold flavors and vibrant color. Made by marinating chunks of chicken in a mixture of yogurt, lime juice, and aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala, the meat is then roasted in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven. The dish is rich in protein from the chicken and contains probiotics from the yogurt marinade, which supports gut health. While its smoky, spice-forward profile is enticing, the minimal use of oil and cooking method make it lighter compared to fried dishes. However, some versions may be high in sodium due to the spice blend. Often served with a side of refreshing mint chutney or a squeeze of lemon, Tandoori Chicken Tikka offers a nutritious and flavorful choice for those looking to enjoy the best of Indian cuisine.
