Tandoori Masala Spice
Tandoori Masala Spice is a salt-free, sugar-free, MSG-free seasoning blend that has robust flavors and pleasing warmth but is not spicy-hot. It is also known as tandoori masala, tandoori spice, tandoori powder, or tandoori chicken spice blend.
Tandoori Masala Spice was named for the tandoor, the clay oven that is often used in Indian, and particularly Punjabi, cuisine, though the tandoor is in use throughout western and central Asia and parts of Africa.
Tandoori Masala Spice is often purchased by:
- independent spice shops;
- olive oil shops;
- seasoning companies;
- distillers; and
- marinade, sauce, condiment, snack, and frozen food manufacturers
Flavor Profile
Tandoori Masala Spice is savory, peppery, and complex, with a bit of heat.
How To Use
Use Tandoori Masala Spice when making a beautifully spicy Tandoori Chicken, or put a fresh spin on an American favorite and make a bold and spicy Tandoori Chicken Pizza. You can swap this in as the seasoning blend when making Butter Chicken or with vegetarian meals, like Vegetable Jalfrezi. This can also be used for savory Indian Chicken Wings, samosas, or in the batter for the vegetable fritters known as pakoras.
Tandoori Masala Spice is versatile and agreeable. It can be used with chicken, fish, vegetables, tofu, cauliflower, eggplant, potatoes, or rice, and is delicious in curries, soups, stews, grilled or roasted meats and vegetables, dips, dressings, and marinades.
