Chicken Tandoori is one of my favorite dishes whenever I enter a Indian Food store. This Asian food is bakes in a tandoor, a oval shape clay oven with burning charcoal at the bottom. its is used to bakes the chicken and a kind of indian bread called Naan until the chicken and the naan is cooked . The chicken and naan is served with a kind of sauce to together with some curry. This items of food is seldom served at home as its take places and time to cooked for a small amount of people.

The recipe I got from a Indian cook. One whole chicken cut into four pieces, to parts of chicken leg and two wings parks. Seasons it with a spoon of ginger powder, one spoon of turmeric powder, cumin, coriander and chilli powder. Add salt, garlic and lemon juice. Season for twenty minutes and ready for baking.
