How to Make Chicken Tandoori Masala

The bright colors and baked flavor of tandoori chicken have become a favorite in Indian homes. You see it in virtually every Indian restaurant and without it the celebrations would not be complete. It was a meal that our entire family awaited, and we were curious about what was coming soon. When I open the fridge to watch the marinated chicken, I am so excited when we wait for its fate in our oven and finally in my stomach. As we ate, the spices fell to our fingertips and juices fell on our chin.
