The Best Spices for an Indian Tandoori Dish

ByChefOnline

A little-known fact, in regard to takeaways in the UK, is that Indian cuisine is by far the most popular. Wherever you go in the country, chances are that you will see an Indian kitchen of some kind. However, one course which typically goes under the radar is the tandoori, and this is nothing short of a travesty. Here at ChefOnline, we are pleased to be able to provide some context regarding the ingredients found in it – you can find our helpful guide below, courtesy of our expert team.

Paprika

For those of you not already in the know, tandoori courses are synonymous with the deep red color they come in. Much of this can be attributed to the healthy dose of the featured paprika that. However, this is not simply in the mix due to its red hue – there is also a wealth of flavor brought to the table. The sweetness that comes through, courtesy of the ground berries, is in perfect harmony with the spice that stems from the other components.

Ginger

Should you be a culinary expert, you will already be well-aware that ginger is arguably the most widely-used spice globally. As such, it is unsurprising that it can be found in a wide variety of foods and drinks. In case of tandoori, ginger brings in the tangy taste. When its root is ground up into a fine powder, the flavor is somewhat intensified. Whether the dish is being prepared in a Michelin starred restaurant, or in a South Indian residence, the results are still the same.

Cumin

Cumin can trace its roots to the Middle East, which could explain why it is that all traditional tandoori recipes include it. A thorough process takes place, during which the fruit itself is dried. Following this, the seeds are extracted and subsequently ground up into a coarse powder. This is an ingredient which is fantastic when used in tandem with various others, and this could be an explanation as to why tandoori dishes feature it.

Cayenne Pepper

If you have ever had a tandoori dish in the past, you will be familiar with the heat that emanates from each and every mouthful. One of the main reasons for this is the abundance of cayenne pepper used in the spice mix. Most people would agree that Far Eastern and Indian dishes are renowned for their flavors. Tandoori is certainly a prime example of this, and we guarantee that when you have one of these courses, you will be left smiling and satisfied.
