Pollo Tandoori en Serio (página 2 de 2)Home >> Recetas
Página: 1 2 Página precedente
Y mezcla todo bien. Puedes elegir entre una marinada colada y super homogénea, o una qe conserve pequeños trocitos de las especias (gengibre, ajo, etc.) Tu decides. Vierte la marinada directamente en las bolsas de los pollos, conservando el jugo de limón. También podrías utilizar una bolsa nueva y ponerle de nuevo jugo de limón fresco. Déjalos marinar de 4 a 6 horas. En los libros de cocina hindú los marinan por mucho más tiempo porque sus carnes son más 'frescas' y mucho más duras. Si marinas demasado tiempo acabarás con un poco apetitoso puré-con-huesos. No se te ocurra hacer esta receta solo con pechugas porque con solo 30 minutos en la marinada acabarás con un engrudo. Tienes que utilizar el pollo entero.
Enciende el horno tandoor y espera a que esté caliente. Yo cocino como a 400 ºF (lo siento pero mi tandoor vino con el termostato en Farenheit). Saca los pollos e insértalos en una 'seekh' (alambre o brocheta larga) de tal manera que queden como a 15 cm de las llamas. Ensarta una papa cruda debajo del pollo para que no se resbale.
Dejalos asar en el tandoor tapado unos 12 minutos o hasta que las puntas de las alas y de las piernas se hayan ennegrecido. No te preocupes por los efectos carcinogénicos, todas las invertigaciones concuerdan en que después de 15 minutos de marinado ya no hay riesgo. Sácalos y cuelga las brochetas para que la carne escurra por 5 minutos. Báñalos con mantequilla clarificada. Comprueba con un uchillo que la carne esté cocida haciendo un corte en la parte más gruesa. Regrésalos al horno por 3 minutos o más si aún no están suficientemente cocidos.
Saca las aves y coloca las brochetas en un plato. Con mucho cuidado retira las aves de las brochetas al rojo vivo y sírvelas.
La carne tiene un intenso sabor a asado y a especias y el interior es increíblemete jugoso. Mucho mejor que el seco malvavisco rojo que te sirven en la mayoría de restaurantes hindús bajo este mismo nombre. The meat has an intense grilled and spicy taste with an incredibly juicy interior. Much better than the dry red mashmallow served in most Indian restaurants under the same name.

Wow, this looks nice ! We are trying it tomorrow although we don't have a tandoor. We had a small bottle of red food colouring but unfortunately it was only enough to make the chicken pink. And we also only had chicken legs, not whole chicken. Besides we put the chicken into the marinade tonight, but it is on the balcony at around zero degrees celsius so we hope it will not be overmarinated. We will cook it in the oven at max. temperature. Cheers from Samina and Per ! Ooops, I just remembered that I forgot to score the meat, oh well - never mind. It will be pink anyway, like an englishman that had too much sunshine on his body.- #2

Good luck Per! Marinating time is much shorter with meat bought in the West as it is already very tender.- #3

Hey there, how much yoghurt did you use? It isn't specified.- #4

Wow, looking at it I feel like biting into the computer screen... can't wait to make it to impress my wife, this week end weather permitting... But please specify how much of the spices (cardmom,pepper, corriander seeds, cumin, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon I should use... am not much of a cook and I am lost. Will keep you posted of the turn out. Can we find a tandoor in Toronto, Canada?- #7

Excellent work. But we have been doing this (Tandoor) since the Mughal times and not since WW2.Thanks and regards,Sunil- #8
- Answered by fx
Sunil you are very right, the tandoor is ancient and doesn't date from WW2. However, the practice of cooking skewered marinated meat in the tandoor dates, according to tandoor historian Ranjit Rai, from WW2. If you have specific information to the contrary I would be most interested but in the meanwhile I have to stick to the well-resarched tandoor history in this book 'Tandoor: The Great Indian Barbecue'. Thanks!- #9
- Answered by fx
Pradeep, the quantity of spices depends on your taste, but for the quantities above start with 4 cloves, 1 bay leaf, 7 cardamom pods, 2 tablespoons each cumin and coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon peppercorns and half a stick cinnamon. Let me know how it works and good luck!- #10
- Comment by Paul
An option is to use cream or a mixture of cream and yoghurt. And or lime juice instead of lemon juice.What you should mention is that dieters have this with a salad and they are happy. Not eating bland food or missing out. I do it with cheap chicken wings to take into work for lunch.Nice web site- #11

How much salt is to be added, when it is to be added is not mentioned, and can lemon be substituted with vinegar?- #12
- Answered by fx
How much salt is a personal matter but I'd go with a teaspoon of fine salt for the quantities mentioned. I would not use vinegar, the taste is too strong. If you like vinegar have a look at my Jerk Tandoori Chicken recipe.- #13

- Comment by s.a. lengade
I have a big green egg (large ceramic egg shaped grill) and was using it as my tandoor, was wondering while making tandoori chicken is it necessary to cook on seekhs or can it be placed on a grill and cooked indirectly (which is what instruction manual suggests). What is advantage of cooking on iron skewers?- #15
- Answered by fx
Mr. Lengade, the big iron skewers are used mainly because they offer a convenient way of lowering and maintaining meat down into the fire pit without burning oneself. They also become very hot and somewhat cook the meat from within, but that should not worry you. If you want to use the green egg - a lovely grill by the way - your main worry should be to increase the heat as much as you can. I don't think you can achieve 600°F+ with indirect heat, and if you fall back to direct heat you will burn your food. Low heat will dry your food out before it's cooked and too high will burn it. Maybe you find a solution!- #16
- Comment by s.a. lengade
Thanks for the advice, I can get it to 700 farenheit, no problem, can I cook the same way as tandoor by placing the skewers into coal and closing lid, also cooking naan if you are familiar with the egg can I place dough against the side and if so how far from coals, and do I have to pretreat the ceramic with any coating. I appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks- #17
- Answered by fx
Mr Lengade, although I have never used 'The Egg' my advice is to try to get the oven's sides to be as hot as possible, wet the raw naan a little and stick it against the sides. If it sticks, good. The process of curing is needed for terracotta tandoor ovens, I don't think ceramic would require that. If that doesn't work try to use a pizza tile placed flat inside the 'Egg' and just lay your naan on top of it. The idea is to have a very hot surface under the naan so that it will bubble in half a minute. Let me know how it works for you and good luck!- #18

- Comment by kersey dhondy
Very interesting site, the tandoori chicken recipe excellent. I had once seen chicken legs prepared tandoori style in a pressure cooker. Could you possibly show it.- #26
- Answered by fx
Robert, the marinade is a nice breeding ground for salmonella and you would definitely NOT serve it as a sauce. Rather use lemon wedges, chutney or raita. Some people use it to baste the chicken during mid cooking - I did this last week end to good effect.Kersey, I can't see how you can get edible tandoori chicken in a pressure cooker, it is about the most different cooking appliance you can find from the tandoor. Use a regular oven and clay Romertopf instead.

- Comment by The food coloring brigade
Food coloring? Tandoori chicken is made with tandoori masala, which contains the spices you added and CHILI POWDER, thats where the red color is coming from... NOT FOOD COLORING.- #33
- Comment by Sonia Sarin
I know of a restaurant in Calcutta that does not use food coloring. I know for certain they use some chile which they grind and use it to give red color to the chicken. I live in Las Vegas and I am Indian settled here. I would have loved to cook tandoori chicken but I do not want to put food color. Please tell me what chili I should buy here to give the exact color so that I can also start cooking the tandoori chicken. PS: I am definitely going to buy your book.- #34

For some time I have been trying to cook Tandoori chicken, but struggle to get the right taste, which we usually find in the restaurants. Your pics are great, so I am inspired again. Red coloring is the hidden secret that I never got trough pouring high amount of red chilli. Thanks a lot. I will try again and hope to get a better result here.- #36
- Comment by Anu
I have been away from India for 25 years and have spent forever searching for a recipe for Tandoori chicken, I, to the day, have not found a recipe that is close to the taste of Tandoori chicken sold in Indian restaurants. This recipe looks promising and would be trying it out tonight, wish me luck :) Regards- #37

Thank you for your comments! The red coloring is seen as a heresy by tandoori chicken purists, but here in the West it is a trademark of that dish.- #38

- Comment by Chai
Good work there mate. I am just about to finish building my own terracotta tandoor... The food colour that I always happen to find turns the food pink instead of red although its called post box red.... What's the exact name of the color you use, if you don't mind? Also what's 'curing' that you've mentioned for terracotta oven that you have mentioned... could you pls elaborate? Tks. Cheers, Chai.- #41
- Comment by David
A couple of changes I made. Maybe the purists won't be happy but I liked the results. Use the same cuts of chicken (thighs are my preference), otherwise you end up with overcooked breasts or undercooked dark meat. Leave the skin on, slash it several times and increase the marinating time by a couple of hours...much of the fat is rendered out resulting in a crisp skin and moist meat. Skip the food coloring and use plenty of degi mirch (closest thing would be paprika) for color.- #42
- Answered by fx
Interesting - I plan a few experiences in tandoori chicken of my own and will report back. In my tandoor leaving the skins result in huge flames due to the fat dripping down on the burner.- #43
- Answered by fx
Amazing Chai, I would be very pleased to see pictures of your homemade tandoor and wish you the very best of luck with it! For the coloring you don't put enough of it, that's why you get pink instead of red. But purists recommend using either chili powder or give up red altogether and use curcuma for yellow.- #44
- Comment by David
With regard to flames with skin on, I use a kamado... similar to a tandoor and keep the seekh away from coals or make a drip pan from heavy foil.- #45

Hi there fx,Pleased to tell you that the Tandoori chicken turned out fantastic and so did the Murgh malai tikka and the naans too.The terracotta pots are holding well......so far so good, I guess. Mail me and I will send the pics in reply. I got a different colour which I happened to find which is made in India and it turned out fine colourwise while tastewise it was lipsmacking tandoor....I used drumsticks for the Tandoori chick and diced thigh fillets for the murgh malai tikka.Cheers,Chai.- #46

- Comment by Arun
Hi fx, very nice pictures. One thing that may help those new to Indian cooking would be the proportions of the spices used. I made a couple of changes based on some other recipes I found on the web: for the initial marination, I used about a tsp of Kashmiri mirch (available in Indian stores in the US) in addition to the lemon juice. Also used a bit of it in the final marinade; the red food color was a nice touch, thanks! I tried using my baking oven at its highest setting as I do not have a tandoor; tasted wonderful, but the outside was not as dry and crisp as I would have liked. One other thing; some comments here suggest using red chilli powder to get the color. I think it'll take far too much of it to get the bright red color associated with this dish, especially considering that you need to add it to the white yogurt!- #51
- Comment by Kris
Thanks for the wonderful recipe and tips. I attempted chicken tandoori in my Ronco Showtime Rotisserie on Sunday and I think that is an acceptable way for someone who doesn't have access to the traditional cooker. I did, however, leave on the skin and I will have to make it again using your technique. How convenient that chicken is sale priced at the local grocery this week!I did make a gravy from the leftover marinade by simmering it on top of the stove to reduce the liquid which, I'm sure, kills the bacteria. Also, I wonder what effect the lemon juice has on living things?Also, I am wondering if achiote might lend the proper red color to the dish naturally without adding a dissonant flavor. I will try that, too, and report back.- #52
- Comment by Kris
Forgot to say that my marinade did not contain yogurt (combination of 'I forgot' and one recipe I consulted did not include it) and I added it after reducing the marinade.- #53
- Answered by fx
Good luck with the chicken tandoori Jalick!- #54
- Answered by fx
Arun, if you have a terracotta dish you can heat it in the oven before adding the skewered chicken. The terracotta will store some heat to balance the temperature absorbed by the cold chicken. Not really a tandoor but an affordable solution. As for the spices each chef has its own mix, but I'd rather use turmeric to turn the chicken yellow than add a gallon of red chili powder for the color. Have fun!- #55
- Answered by fx
Kris, the lemon juice and yogurt are essential to precook/tenderize the chicken during marination. Making a gravy with the marinade is not really recommended but if you do you are right to cook it long and hard to kill off as many bacterias as you can. Don't keep the chicken skin on, it insulates somewhat the flesh and provokes flares up when the fat melts. I don't know about achiote, but you can opt for a more traditional yellow color using turmeric powder. But in the West most people associate this dish with the red food colouring usually employed. Not very natural nor traditional, I admit!- #56

- Comment by Dueep J. Singh
To all those who have the patience to stroll, I mean scroll down to the very end. This essential food coloring is a natural product called Ratanjot. All ye expatriates out there, do remember to ask your friend neighborhood barbeque man to give you some. A touch of ratanjot give it the deep red colour. As for the red chillies, they are called Kashmiri chillies and boy are they yummy, dark red and HOT. So one handles them with care, even though the ultimate presentation of an original Kashmiri dish is something to laud.- #63
- Comment by Dueep J.Singh
SO, all right this recipe is yum. Let me be altruistic and give you a traditional tandoori recipe called Boti kabab. Boti is the original persian word for piece. Bota. My ancestors fronm the Northwest used the word Chukh and this was broiled on hot coals in the winter.Boti Kabab Servings 4-5
Ingredients
Amount Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boned Leg of lamb
2 cloves Chopped Garlic
2 tbsp Chopped Coriander Leaves
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
4 tbsp Curd
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Oil
6 Green Cardamoms
1 Cinnamon Stick
2-3 Dried Red Chili
1 tbsp Coriander Seeds
Preparation
* Grind the green cardamoms, cinnamon, red chili and coriander seeds into a fine mix. Keep aside.
* Wash the meat and dry it. Prick all over with a sharp knife and cut into 1 ½ inch cubes.
* Put the garlic, coriander leaves, lemon juice and yogurt into a liquidiser or food processor and blend until smooth. Add the salt, turmeric and the ground ingredients.
* Put the meat into a bowl and add the liquidised ingredients.
* Mix throughly, cover and leave to marinate for 6-8 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator).
* Preheat grill to high. Line the grill pan with a piece of aluminium foil (this will reflect heat and also keep your grill pan clean).
* Thread meat onto skewers leaving about ¼-inch gap between each piece.
* Mix any remaining marinade with the oil and keep aside.
* Place the skewers on the prepared grill and pan and grill the kababs for 2-3 minutes.
* Turn the skewers over and grill for a further 2-3 minutes.
* Reduce heat to medium. Brush the kababs with the oil/marinade mixture and grill for 6-8 minutes.
* Turn the skewers over and brush the kababs with the remaining oil/marinade mixture. Grill for a further 6-8 minutes.
* Garnish with thinly sliced onion rings, crisp lettuce leaves and wedges of cucumber.
We kids asked our father to fry the rest of the unbarbecued meat in the leftover sauce for dinner. This boti kababs were just hors d'oeuvres!

Dueep, thanks for sharing this information! Do you know how the ratanjot is made? Is this a natural product, maybe a cousin of the Kashmiri chili?- #65
- Answered by fx
Dueep, the marination time you give is for Western 'pre-tenderized' meat, or for Indian meat? You indicate cooking times for a grill, is that the same if using a tandoor? I'm considering trying this on Sunday.Thanks!

Can I use a regular oven instead of a tandoori? I may have missed some of your instructions due to the fact I have just been called in to work...((shucks))). Hopefully I will review and find the listing of ingredients for the tandoori rcipe. It looks absolutely scrumtious.Lawrence
- #67
- Answered by fx
Lawrence, thanks for visiting! The oven is called a 'tandoor', the word tandoori being the adjective. Well, if your oven can become really seriously hot, you might want to use some clay dish and rest the chicken on a skewer on the preheated clay dish so that it can give the chicken some of its stored heat. But you really need an enormous amount of heat to get the chicken slightly blackened on the edges without burning the meat!- #68

- Comment by Tanashah
This is one of the best tandoori chicken recipes online. I usually marinate chicken similarly with two differences -Use thickened plain yoghurt : Tie up the yoghurt in a muslin or a thin cotton cloth and hang up to drip for at least 3 hours. Use the thickened yoghurt.
I like it red, but since my kids eat it too, I don't put the red food colour ( it is a synthetic chemical after all with suspect health effects). Instead, I get concentrated red beet root juice and add that as coloring. You can get it from organic food stores, whole foods in the US.
tastes great even on aregular coal grill!
Add mustard oil to the marinade for more authentic flavor.

- Comment by Rohan
The red color in chicken tandoori traditionally comes from using degi mirch. Its a kind of chilli that adds lovely deep red color to dishes without being too hot. Even the mild chilli may prove too hot for someone uninitiated to indian cooking but for others I would suggest substituting the food coloring with degi mirch.- #88
- Comment by Scott Lee
Can I just say that the colour of the meat is secondary to the taste and that we in the West only expect the meat to be red because that is how it has (for some time now) been served to us in restaurants.If it didn't have the colour but the same great taste i'm certain that very few westerners would mind it not being bright red.
I don't know anybody that doesn't eat Indian food for any other reason than the flavour, because after all, isn't that what good food is all about? ;)
Great Recipe. Thank You :)

- Comment by Joan
I use annatto powder/seeds for natural colouring, but since this is tandoori, you can use turmeric powder or a piece of turmeric root. Just add either to the marinade. For a quick tandoori chicken: One chicken cut into pieces, 200 gms of thick (greek-style yoghurt) with equal amounts of ginger and garlic, a small red onion, salt and pepper to taste, and curry powder. Marinade for a few hours, grill on 180 C for about 30 minutes, then turn over. Serve over rice, scooping the sauce - yummy.But, I love Francois' more authentic, and I am sure, yummier than my short-cut recipe. Can't wait to try it.

Hello!(I’m your 100th commenter! YAY! and P.S. I've read all of your other comments and your recipe...it is wonderful!)
Your very knowledgeable in all the subjects you write about which is wonderful!
I have been reading through your recipe, and I have also been looking at two other recipes and I have a few questions. I hope they are not too much of a bother and that you do not feel that they challenge your expertise because that is not my aim. I simply want to create the best tandoori recipe possible for my in-laws who are coming to dinner and find it hilarious that I do not know how to make Indian food despite being Indian! (I know it’s a bit comical actually since i know to make their ethnic food very well but seem to fall short on mine!)
I was wondering about recipes that call for the addition of gharam masala or chart masala as well as adding curry powder, paprika, dry mango powder (I assume this may give it the tangy taste that some people have come to like about tandoori), or dry fenu greek leaves. Do you think any of these spices would further enhance or deduct from the authentic tandoori taste? Also I have a question regarding the quantity of the spices you included in your comment: does that apply to just one chicken? Or more?
Thank you for reading my comment. It means a lot!

Great recipe.... I am doing a bunch of chicken for the 4th of July celebrations. I don't have a decent grill nor do I have a tandoor, however, I am going to bake it in a regular oven !!!Can't wait.

Great recipe, can't wait to try. I have a wood fired Pizza Oven and plan to use it to cook this, so do you think the Beer can chicken holders will work well for this?- #107

Wow! What an amazing job you did. I finally found out that give the tandoori chicken that red/orange color. I had no idea it was food coloring. Thank you for breaking up all of the steps to make this superb dish. I will defiantly be following this recipes but cooking it in a western oven. Thank you so much!!- #108

Amazing recipe, amazing pictures, and very clear instructions. I wish I had a proper tandoori oven but will need to resort to my old barbecue!- #110
