Tandoori Tikka Masala

Tandoori tikka masala is a spice blend used to marinate tandoori-style chicken or other meats, such as lamb or shrimp, and vegetables. The masala is typically made by mixing together a variety of ground spices, including cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, ginger, garlic, and chili powder.

Tandoori tikka masala is a popular dish in Indian cuisine, and the spicy, smoky flavor of the masala is a key component of the dish. The marinated meat or vegetables are typically grilled in a tandoor oven, giving them a charred, smoky flavor. The masala also includes yogurt or cream, which helps to tenderize the meat and adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the dish.

Tandoori tikka masala can be served as an appetizer or as a main course, typically accompanied by naan or other Indian breads and a variety of chutneys and sauces. The dish can be made spicy or mild, depending on the amount of chili powder and other spices used in the masala.
