Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori Chicken is a popular Indian dish that involves marinating chicken in a mixture of yogurt and spices, including cumin, coriander, garam masala, and turmeric, and then cooking it in a tandoor, which is a cylindrical clay oven. The result is tender, flavorful chicken with a slightly charred and smoky taste.
