About Tandori chicken

Tandoori Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, known for its vibrant spices and smoky aroma. Traditionally prepared by marinating chicken in yogurt and a blend of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garam masala, the dish is then cooked in a tandoor, a high-heat clay oven, or roasted on a grill. High in protein and loaded with beneficial spices like turmeric (known for its anti-inflammatory properties) and cumin (aids digestion), it’s a nutritious choice when prepared without excessive oil or cream. The yogurt marinade tenderizes the chicken while adding probiotics. However, some versions may include added oils or be served with rich sauces, which can increase calorie and fat content. Opting for skinless chicken can reduce saturated fat, making Tandoori Chicken a deliciously healthier option for those seeking a high-protein, lower-carb meal with a spicy kick.
