Tandoori Masala Powder is a blend of spices which is used in various tandoori preparations. It’s an aromatic deep red coloured masala powder with blend of flavours.I have used Byadgi Red Chilli to get that dark red colour. I am against the use of artificial colours and flavours as it is considered to be not good for health. So I always try to add colours in an natural way.

Byadgi red chillies are non spicy red chillies which are used only to get that deep red colour . I even remember seeing a program featured on television ,few years before where Byadgi Red Chillies where used in making of Lipsticks. So you want red deep colour in your food, then try adding byadgi red chillies it gives that deep red colour same as that of Tandoori Red colour.

Tandoori Masala Powder ,is very easy to make at home with very few basic ingredients. I bring all the dry whole spices and make all kind of spice blends at home. As it is easy to make and also fresh . Blend some small quantity of spices ,so that it can be used for 5 to 6  times. The measurement I have used here yields approximately 30 grams , use it as required and make fresh batch as and when needed. It hardly takes 20 minutes of your time.

Other spice blend recipes on blog are Tea Masala Powder , Biryani Masala Powder  and Bisi Bele Bath powder.

This Tandoori Masala Powder can be used in marination for making tandoori chicken , tandoori paneer tikka , tandoori fish . Also it can be used while preparing paneer tikka masala ,chicken tikka masala ,kebabs and many more delicacies.
