Carla's How to Make Tandoori Chicken

The Everyday Indian Menu is a series of lessons that Carla has created displaying standard (yet mouthwatering) dishes eaten throughout modern India, well, everyday.

In this lesson, Carla takes you through all the necessary steps for preparing the classic Tandoori Chicken, a healthy, low fat dish. You will learn how to prepare the chicken, the marinade, and how Tandoori Chicken gets that memorable orange-red color! After the chicken marinates in the yogurt and spices, Carla then shows you how to cook Tandoori Chicken on a grill. If you don’t have a grill, you can also use an oven to cook this delicious chicken dish! Enjoy!

Carla began cooking Indian food at the age of 15 and went on to hone her skills at the best Indian cooking school ever - her mother’s kitchen! She has adapted these recipes to life in America, developing homemade curry pastes, spice mixtures and cooking sauces that make Indian cooking fun, fast and convenient. The Spice Route Homemade Indian Cooking classes aim to demystify Indian cooking, and prove that Indian cuisine is about SO much more than curry powder!
