Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori chicken has been a part of my mom's menu. She makes this yummy tandoori chicken on the gas tandoor. So when I got married and started working to improve my culinary skills a gas tandoor was what I was on the lookout for. After many unsuccessful searches on the Internet however, I was lucky enough to find one in a home appliances store near my place. I like the burnt edges that I get while making it on my gas tandoor. It provides it the authentic Tandoori taste like that of the restaurants serving the dish.
