Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori chicken is perhaps the most recognizable dish in Indian cuisine worldwide, made famous by Kundan Lal Gujral at Moti Mahal in Delhi in the 1940s. Chicken pieces are marinated in a vibrant blend of yogurt, spices, and lemon juice, then cooked in the searing heat of a clay tandoor oven, emerging charred, smoky, juicy, and intensely flavorful.
