Tandoor is the same tandoor (furnace), but Indian.

Masala is a mixture of spices, and tandoori masala is a mixture of spices that is needed to cook something in tandoori.

Since, of course, there is no tandoor at home, the recipe is adapted for the oven, where it also turns out very tasty tandoori chicken.

The hallmark of this recipe is the use of a masala yoghurt marinade that coats the chicken throughout the cooking process, making it extremely juicy and flavorful. You can marinate your chicken in the morning and then roast it for just 30 minutes when you're ready for dinner.

Tandoori chicken is classically served alongside homemade naan (flatbread) and basmati rice.
