Chicken Tandoori Blend

Chicken Tandoori Spice — Authentic Indian Flavor & Signature Red Color

A ready-made, balanced tandoori spice blend with authentic Indian flavor, giving chicken a rich taste and the signature red color that defines real tandoori dishes. Perfect for grilling, oven-roasting, and frying, and also works well with meat and shrimp for anyone wanting to try the same flavor in a different way.

What makes it different?

• A ready-made, balanced blend — no need to mix multiple spices yourself.
• Gives chicken the signature red color of authentic tandoori dishes.
• Versatile: chicken, meat, and even shrimp.

How to Use:

• Marinate chicken before cooking for a sufficient amount of time (at least one hour, or overnight for deeper flavor) for the best result.
• Can be mixed with yogurt for a more tender, traditionally deeper-flavored marinade.
• About two tablespoons is enough for each kilogram of chicken or meat.

Quick Recipe: Oven-Baked Tandoori Chicken

The classic Indian dish, made easy at home:

• Marinate chicken pieces (thighs or breasts) in 2 tablespoons of yogurt, 2 tablespoons of Bhar's Chicken Tandoori spice, and the juice of half a lemon.
• Let it rest in the fridge for at least an hour, ideally overnight for deeper flavor and a more vivid red color.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C, and arrange the chicken pieces on a parchment-lined tray.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked with slightly charred edges (a signature feature of authentic tandoori).
• Serve hot with naan bread and an onion-lemon salad.

Highlights:

• A ready-made blend that saves time and effort.
• Signature red color and authentic Indian flavor.
• Works for grilling, oven-roasting, and frying.
• 140g package.

Storage Tips:

Store in a dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight, and reseal tightly after each use. It can also be stored in the fridge or freezer to extend its shelf life without affecting its flavor strength.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a special tandoor oven to make this?

No, you can get a very similar flavor using a regular home oven at high heat (220°C or more), or even on a grill — the result is very close to the authentic taste without needing special equipment.

What's the difference between this and your Masala Spice?

Masala Spice is built on Bhar's secret base blend with Indian touches, and is mostly used in curries and sauces like chicken tikka masala. Chicken Tandoori is a ready-made marinade specifically for grilling and oven cooking, with its signature red color — you can use both together in the same meal for a complete Indian experience.

What's the ideal marinating time?

At least one hour, but marinating overnight in the fridge gives deeper flavor and a more vivid red color, especially when mixed with yogurt.
