Tandoori Chicken is one of the most popular dishes in the Indian cuisine and has made a symbolic mark for its explicit robust aroma and fragrance that tempts most of us in eating this dish.

A traditional cooked tandoori chicken is made of chicken marinated in a mixture of yoghurt and spices traditionally cooked in high temperatures in a tandoor (clay oven) and also can be prepared on a traditional barbecue grill. In modern version of the recipe, red coloring is used to the dish. When cooked in clay oven, the chicken legs coated with spices are cooked over high heat hence engulfing the smoke into the pieces by which you get a awesome smoky, spicy taste on bite.

Tandoor cooked chicken actually dates back to the Mughal peroid. This delicacy was a main course of the enormous Indian feasts of that day. Other stories of its origins have arisen, such as the one below where few say the story of its origins lies with a man named Kundan Lal Gujral, who ran a restaurant called Moti Mahal in Peshawar before the partition of British India.

Trying out new recipes to keep his patrons interested, Gujral tried cooking chicken in tandoors (clay ovens) used by locals until then to cook naan bread. The tandoors are bell-shaped ovens, set into the earth and fired with wood or charcoal reaching temperatures of about 480 degrees. Gujral was able to cook the tender chickens in these ovens making them succulent inside and crispy outside.

The fame of Tandoori Chicken led to many derivatives like Chicken Tikka (and eventually the Indian dish popularized in Britain Chicken Tikka Masala), commonly found in menus in Indian restaurants all over the world. As we are all talking about eating healthy and nutritious foods, this specially cooked Fried Tandoori Chicken in Philips Air fryer is a fantastic dish fried in air using very little oil, cooked in a healthy way to keep us going strong and fit.
