What is Tandoori Masala?
Tandoori Masala is a classic Indian seasoning blend traditionally used to marinate meat, especially chicken, in a yogurt-based mixture. The marinated meat is then slow-cooked in a tandoor (clay oven). The method is common in Indian, Afghan, and Pakistani cuisine.
Even without a tandoor, you can prepare flavorful dishes in your oven at 200 °C for about 40 minutes. With our spice mix, you’ll create authentic tandoori flavors easily at home.

Culinary Use
Use this spice blend to prepare a classic North Indian tandoori chicken by mixing it with yogurt and marinating overnight. The next day, bake the chicken in the oven until golden and aromatic.
Tandoori Masala also works well for grilling. Mix one teaspoon of the blend with four tablespoons of oil and brush it over meat or vegetables before grilling.
It is ideal for dips too: stir one teaspoon into 200 g of yogurt or quark for a flavorful vegetable dip.
You can also use it to season rice dishes, fish, lamb, or baked potatoes.

Storage Advice
