Masala Grilled Chicken

Cultural Context

Masala Grilled Chicken, often referred to as Tandoori Chicken, has its roots in North India, where it was traditionally cooked in clay ovens called tandoors. This dish is a celebration of bold spices and yogurt, which tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor. It is a popular choice at festive gatherings and street food stalls alike. Today, variations of this dish can be found worldwide, often adapted to suit local tastes and cooking methods.
