Tandoori Seasoning is a salt-free curry-style spice blend that's inspired by the seasonings & flavors of tandoori chicken, a classic South Asian dish where chicken cutlets are marinated in yogurt & spices, then roasted in a tandoor oven. Since most people don't own a tandoor, we created this blend of tandoori powder so you can make a tandoori chicken recipe by using a grill. Try our Tandoori Marinated Grilled Chicken & Sauce recipe using this blend, and serve with jasmine rice and a delicious piece of puffy Naan.

Flavor Profile

Our tandoori powder is a salt-free, earthy seasoning is bittersweet and aromatic with peppery notes and warm-citrus flavor.

How to Use

Use as tandoori chicken seasoning, or season pork, lamb and beef. For a tandoori chicken marinade, mix 2 T of tandoori masala seasoning with 1/2 cup rice vinegar and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

About This Blend

We handcraft this curry-style spice blend from cumin, coriander, smoked sweet paprika, turmeric, garlic, Guajillo chiles, ginger, charnushka, black & green cardamom, black pepper, cloves, mace, Saigon cinnamon and Turkish bay leaves. The tandoor is an oven made of clay & brick that is used to bake or roast foods directly over an open fire.
