Tandoori chicken roasted to perfection
The fresh, authentic Tandoori Chicken is grilled over high heat by turning the chicken after a few intervals of fixed minutes at a specific temperature.
The cooking time is set precisely but differently for both smaller wings and larger quarters. After continuously roasting, flipping, and basting, the tender chicken pieces are then put in the broiler for a charred finish.
For the smoky flavour and aroma, a glowing red charcoal is placed in the bowl. It is then covered after putting a few oil drops on it for a specified time before serving with green mint chutney.
