Preparing Tandoori Masala at home is very easy and quick process. No preservatives, Unique Aroma and WONDERFUL taste!!
I used it to flavor the Paneer Tikka, Chicken Kebabs, Makhani Gravies and other chicken curries.
The general idea is to mix tandoori masala in yogurt to make a flavorful marinade which has an authentic taste to your dish.
I have posted earlier tandoori masala made at home in my blog using with mixed of spices, both of them have unique aroma and taste. This time I made a big batch of masala around 1.5 cup & it just hardly take 15 minutes to prepare.
This recipe is just dry roast the ingredients and blend it into a blender and keep it in air-tight container for future use. You can use this masala with up to 2 months. Till 2 month, it stays fresh.
I have used dry red chillies for taste and color, if you you can use Kashmir red chilies or paprika to get the dark red color or You can also add artificial food color to get dark red color. I have use cinnamon powder using instead of stick.
You can try end number of homemade spices like
