Tandoor
 

Hi Tarah

A tandoor is a clay (stone) oven used in the east. The idea is to heat the stone to a very high temperature and cook things on the stone.

Anything cooked in this way is given the name Tandoori. So chicken cooked in a tandoor is called tandoori chicken.

The various spices used to marinade the chicken are of course not carb-free. It does depend what spices you are using.

{beneath all of the red delicious spice } would indicate to me that you are using a commrcially prepared spice mixture with lots of colouring in it. Let me know if I am wrong?

Tandoori chicken is one dish that I could easily live to eat!!
:wave: Enjoy.

Take care

Spices do have carbs, but not enough to worry about. At least I don's worry about it. Check the label if your friends are using a prepared paste for lurking sugar. Pastes are usually mixed with yogurt, but sour cream can be used instead. Have you ever had tandoori prawns/shrimp? Even better that tandoori chicken.

Now you've got me thinking that I'll have to make tandoori chicken wings! :D
