Indian Tandoori Chicken

Indian Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish consisting of chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, then cooked in a tandoor oven. The tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven which gives the chicken its distinct smoky flavor and reddish-brown, charred color. This dish is usually served with a side of mint chutney or other spicy sauces, as well as onion and lemon slices. It is a popular street food in India and is also served in restaurants around the world.
