Tandoori Chicken & Raisin Rice


This famous barbecue chicken is a well-known traditional dish from Northern India prepared in an underground jar-shaped clay oven that believed to have originated in Persia. The oven can be heated to very high temperatures and therefore sears the chicken and seals in the juice.

In modern days, delicious result can be obtained in a conventional oven or grill pan too. And the trick to get tender chicken is to use yogurt as one of the marinade to keep the chicken from drying out. Although the recipe is easy to follow but it was quite difficult to find "Tandoori spices" in Singapore.


The taste is similar to our local Nasi Brayni but it's unique because of the Yoghurt and Lemon Mixture. If you are interested in this dish, maybe you can look for "SHARWOOD's- Tandoori Spice Mix" from Cold Storage Spices Department.
