Make a list of your favorite Indian dishes. I’m sure tandoori will be on it, that too somewhere at the top.
The real tandoori dishes are cooked in a ‘tandoor’. It works like like an oven but is made of clay. Tandoor cooked dish just means awesome flavor. I’d love to have this amazing gadget in my kitchen. But unfortunately I don’t think there’s enough
space to accommodate one.
Coming back to the recipe, this masala paste is simply superb and goes well with any meat, seafood, and even veggies. If you want that red fiery color, add a pinch of tandoori color to the paste.
Mix all the ingredients together in a deep bowl. Add more water, if necessary, and make a smooth paste.
