Why Families Love These Chicken Wraps
Tandoori refers to a traditional Indian style of cooking where meat or vegetables are marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked at high heat—originally in a clay oven called a tandoor. The marinade typically includes spices like cumin, paprika, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, which give tandoori dishes their signature warm, smoky, and slightly tangy flavor. While traditional tandoori cooking uses a tandoor oven, you can easily recreate those bold flavors at home using a grill, oven, or skillet. This recipe brings big flavor in a simple, approachable way.
