Favorite Indian Food: Tandori Chicken

One of the main reasons why many travel to India is there unique style of cuisine. Now although when people think of Indian food, they think curry, there are many different types of food that make Indian food very popular. I am going to talk about two very popular foods in India!

One of the most popular foods in India is Tandoori Chicken. According to Wikipedia, the chicken is marinated in yogurt and in the spices called Tandoori Masala. It was made famous by one of the prime ministers, Nehru, and he liked it so much that he made it a regular food at his banquets. It's led to many different styles of chicken such as chicken tikka masala, and chicken tikka. Now from tasting it in India, I can tell you that it is one of my favorite foods when I go to India. All of these types of chicken are cooked in a grill called a tandoor, instead of a typical barbecue grill. Here is a picture of it:

 I would seriously consider finding an Indian restaurant in your city and trying the delicious dish. If you can't find a indian restaurant, here is a recipe to make it : http://homecooking.about.com/od/chickenrecipes/r/blchicken2.htm
