tandoori chicken

Spiced red fowl

Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then roasted in a tandoor—a cylindrical clay oven that reaches very high temperatures.

The dish gets its characteristic red-orange color from spices like cayenne and paprika, sometimes with added food coloring.

We ordered tandoori chicken and naan.
