Chicken Tandoori-the last tandoori recipe you'll need
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Tandoori chicken, named so because it is meant be cooked in a clay oven (tandoor), is a dish that was born in undivided Punjab. It went on to become one of the most well-known dishes of the Indian subcontinent. It is widely available all over India and Pakistan and everywhere the diaspora has immigrated. Tandoori chicken is also the base ingredient for the most well known Indian dish, chicken butter masala, or tikka masala as it is known in the West.
Tandoori chicken is made using fairly simple ingredients mixed in a marinade with yoghurt, then applied to the whole chicken. The chicken is usually a small bird-under a kilo, dressed and skin removed, although tandoori chicken is now made with wings, drumsticks, boneless chicken thigh (tikka kabab), etc.
The recipe is well known but it is tricky to get the proportions right. Most home recipes tend to use too much garlic and ginger. A good tandoori chicken should not smell of garlic, or any one ingredient in particular. If it is noticeably garlic-y then there was too much garlic. Similarly, the quantity of dried spices need to be just right, otherwise the spices will burn when cooking and produce a strange bitterness.
Our tandoori spice mix has been arrived at after testing many kilos of chicken tandoori because small errors are often not noticeable until you scale up a recipe. If you follow this, you are guaranteed to get a flavourful tandoori chicken.
We are also launching our Tandoori Moshla mix which is even more flavourful because it is made from all whole spices instead of powdered spices that we use at home. The spices are ground fresh every few days and the date of grinding is printed on the label. So you always know how fresh your spice packet is. You can purchase it from the Amar Khamar website here: www.amar-khama..., OR visit their store: maps.app.goo.g...
As with any kabab, the thing to avoid at all costs is excess moisture. This means drying the chicken well before using, draining any excess water out after the first marinade, squeezing all water out of the curd/yoghurt before using (it should be as thick as cream cheese)-do everything you can to not add any water to the marinade. This is even more important for home ovens which are nowhere near as hot as traditional tandoors that can reach temperatures of 500ºC and can retain that heat well because of their huge thermal mass. If you marinade is watery, your tandoori chicken will steam instead of searing.

Insiya, your hard work on not speaking too fast is commendable. I saw too many harsh comments in the previous videos, but you do a great job as always❤
+1
Not harsh. People love to see their content,think them as their own, so people gave their feedback. What's harsh?? They make content for people so people have the right to comment and criticise positively
Lololol. It felt unnatural, like I was listening to myself at 0.75x speed!
Insiya’s brain works at lightening speed, so she speaks fast…. That’s also an attribute of youth. I like listening to both of them, full of good humor and good sense.
@@sumanbhargav1357 If people feel she was speaking too fast they could have simply slowed the speed down to 0.75.
these videos actually visual stories.. doesnt matter one cooks or not its always a pleasure to watch such videos
Absolutely! I can count on the fingers of one hand how many of these I've made. But I watch them religiously
"Thank God the recipe is here now. " I had been trying to do this many times before and failed. The chicken got cooked in the OTG, and with the marination, it was never "tandoor-ed ". So thank you!
Please read the FAQ section on our website under this recipe to help you mitigate that somewhat!

Hey Bongeats team, have been following you since long.
You are doing an exceptional job. Wishing you all the success
Very exquisite indeed, I love everything about the presentation, including the "farrated" English :)
I have almost similar recipe ( of course I use garam masala and ginger garlic paste from market)….but I never roasted besan till that point that I will try to do now.
Kudos to you for adding those subtle details.
But try using charcoal grill…at least I find it better.
This is yum! I have 2 questions:
1. Can we use ground bhuna chana in place of besan? Do we then need to fry it in oil?
2. Skin on or skin off chicken? Usually tandoori that we get from shops is skin off. Would like to reduce the fats!
Commendable work, Insiya !!
Your kitchen looks so great! Please please make a video on all the utensils that you use and where to buy them from.
We did a three-part series back in 2018 covering Bengali pantry essentials and kitchen tools, if you'd like to look it up. There's also a kitchen tools page on our website!

Good morning
Interesting and seems an absolute winner to me
One question though are your products available on Amazon?
The reason being a Prime Member all delivery is free thus avoiding that extra charges on courier which can be much and Amazon has a window where delivery is available with a few days.
Appreciate if you could find time to respond.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Have a great day
I am watching this at my office. My mouth is watering, and my stomach is growling!
Ha ha.
Excellent!
Chicken tandoori recipe looks so tasty and delicious
Excellent videos. I have been following your channel for long. Your Maccher Katla curry is now our family's favourite fish curry :-) One question about this recipe - won't adding salt in the marinade cause the chicken to go dry?
so you want to eat chicken without salt or after you eat?
I love tandoori it's my favourite thanks for making this video ❤
Uff! Such precision 😍
Please upload Authentic recipe of Gondhoraj chicken pakora 🙏🙏
Ah, one of my all time favourites!

My oh my. These tandoori wings with a cold beer on a summer weekend night would be heaven.
Apurbo hoyeche
I am not cooking any of this now..but your videos are a background podcast for me!! Therapy u see.
Excellent Video.Too good recipe.
Very good
Looking delicious
I would love to get a recipe of tandoori and other kababs like Tikka, Hariyali and Malai as well in a single video, specifically on a charcoal tandoor if possible.
Can you do a short video on the oven you use
I have been following your videos since I was studying in Canada. Your videos made me feel like I am back home. Now, that I am back in India, I am working in a primarily vegetarian state so I don't get to cook all the wonderful non-vegetarian dishes you make. I want to ask you one question - Is the Amar Khamar, a brand that you and your team have created as an alternative business idea to market your spice blend so that you can generate revenue for the UA-cam channel, or is it a separate company who is sponsoring your channel?
Amar Khamar is a separate Kolkata-based organisation that works with farmers to conserve Bengal's heirloom rice varieties, many of which had been on the brink of dying out. They also source other products such as ghee, honey, bori, achaar, directly from the farming communities they work with. They also have good quality daily-use spices on their website, both whole and powdered, and so they were the perfect choice for us when it came to turning our spice blend recipes into actual products. Amar Khamar is currently also a channel sponsor :)
@@BongEats How lovely
Watching the last part on 1.5× speed because I'm not really used to insiya di speaking slowly 😅 loved the recipe ❤
🥹
Bong Eats🐟 is not an channel but a therapy❤😌
Looks so good! ❤ Just a question, for people who don't have ovens or microwaves, do you think there's any way this can be done on stovetop?
Thank you. Yes, can be made on the stove too if you take some precautions. Check the FAQ section on the recipe page on our website. Link is in the description box under the video.
Yes, please see the FAQ section of our website: www.bongeats.com/recipe/chicken-tandoori
@@BongEats thank you so muchh! ❤️
It would be great if you could make a video about the different knives you use for cutting meat and veggies.
Today i tried your chicken stue, it's amazing testy ❤
Spelling please
Sorry- cannot agree with this being the last recipe I will need.
1. BIG mistake- never use chicken with skin for tandoori(its ok for fried wings)
2. Big mistake- tandoori chicken needs bigger chunks of meat-never tiny flats and drumettes.You should use a cut up whole bird.
3. If you marinate a soft meat like chicken for 24 hours with so much acidic stuff ie lemon juice it will make the chicken awfully pasty and unattractive.The skin will get soggy and the meat pasty -that is a sure recipe for disaster.Should not look so oily either.
4. Don't push the spice mixtures so aggressively-turns people off.Your clientele are more sophisticated-you should be more subtle.
Wish you all the best.
eager to know the chutney recipe
Looking awesome😊❤😅❤😮
What oven are you using
Super
Bong eats is back with recipes weekly.. yippee
Is there delivery option for outside of India?
वाह, पहली बार देख रहा हु बहुत ही शानदार लाज़वाब जायकेदार व्यंजन विधि साझा करने के लिए आपका आभार।
Tempting
বং ইটসের ভিডিও দেখতে গেলে যা করি তা হল শুরুতেই একটা লাইক দিয়ে নিই, তারপর দেখতে থাকি ( পুরো ভিডিও দেখার পরে যে অন্ততঃ শ'খানেক লাইক দিতে মন চাইবে এ তো জানা কথাই)। আজকের ভিডিও-ও মাইরি চরম লেভেলের মাউথ ওয়াটারিং হয়েছে!
May May I know which oven are you using
How do i buy the amar khamar spices from US?
Any plans to make the spice mixes available outside India? Maybe at least to the US and UK to start with.
Yummy
Any plans to export? We are really struggling to get good quality masala here in Europe.
Hi.. Great recipe...
Could you please provide a link to the stainless steel bowl you did the marinade in?
I looked for it on the bongeats website but could not find it... your one looks quite thick..
Yes, it's a double-layered one. We're very fond of it, but unfortunately cannot find anything like it again. Ours was purchased at a local shop in Chennai 15 years back! It has no branding or any kind of identifying mark 😕
@BongEats yes.. I tried searching online in amazon n other sites... bt couldn't find any, this thick.. !!
Thanks for the reply .. :)
I always listen to her at speed 0.75 x😂
Hey.. do you have a video on Achari onions?

Skin chara kora jabe ?
nice recipe, I do not have an oven, how well will this recipe go in an air fryer
Air fryers are essentially small ovens. Check out the recipe page on our website where we have answered this question. Link in the description box under the video.
@BongEats thankuhhh
Keep making this 2.0 version of all your previous popular recipes… Its great for learning who are passionate about cooking ✨
This is our first tandoori chicken recipe.
@@BongEats learn from absolutely beginning ... This type video or classes will be great....Is there any plan to start teaching classes or videos??
Where can I find this type of chicken wings? Are they Arambagh chicken?
Pls may I know if ur garam masala contains black pepper ..as I am allergic..and if u dont mind, the brand of mustard oil that is best pls..
Thanku
The Bengali gorom moshla has no black pepper but our Shahi gorom
moshla does. You’ll find the detailed ingredient list on the product page of Amar Khamar.
@BongEats thanku so much my dear..is the bengali garam masala available in ur website ?
@BongEats pls may I know a good brand for mustard oil and bengali ghee too pls ?
Hi..I wish the chicken was spatchcocked & then cooked whole since you used a fairly large tray. Even Tandoor(ing) deboned leg & thigh atleast would have made sense to me instead of wings. Also if you can suggest place where one can buy correct whole chicken for this. Thanks.
Achaari onions recipe please
We've posted the video for Patrons in our membership community: www.bongeats.com/community/join
Is Amar Khamar available in London UK please let me know
Not at the moment 😞
@ I’m coming to Kolkata in August how my I purchase I need these spices in my kitchen
Please do let me know your OTG brand name - thank you ❤
Khide peye gelo …
Those of us watching from outside of India are so bummed that we can't get Amar Khamar spices.
Hi, so I do not have an oven at my house. Can I still make this recipe in a pan? How much of a difference in flavour would that make; and also what can I do to minimise this difference?
Please see the FAQ section on our website for this: www.bongeats.com/recipe/chicken-tandoori
