Uses and Cooking Suggestions
Coat chicken, paneer, or vegetables generously with this paste and let them marinate for at least a few hours, or ideally overnight, before grilling, baking, or pan-searing until charred and cooked through. The paste is formulated to deliver the characteristic red-orange color and smoky, tangy flavor associated with tandoori cooking. It also works well as a base for a quick tandoori-style gravy when thinned with a little water or cream.
Good to Know
Because this is a smaller 8 Oz jar, it is a practical size for households wanting to try tandoori-style cooking without committing to a larger container. Marinating for a longer period, rather than just a quick coating, generally results in deeper, more developed flavor throughout the dish. Because tandoori dishes are often prepared for weekend gatherings, keeping this paste on hand ensures a smoky, flavorful meal is always within reach without an elaborate spice-grinding process. Doubling the marinade is simple when cooking for a larger group. Its bold flavor makes it a standout choice for weekend cooking. A hot grill brings out the best char and flavor in this marinade.
