What Is Tandoori Sauce Made Of?
Tandoori sauce is a spicy, tangy sauce commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is typically made of a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and sometimes with added tomato paste, chili powder, or dried fenugreek leaves. The sauce gets its name from the tandoor clay oven in which it is traditionally cooked, giving it its distinctive smoky flavor. It is a popular marinade for meats, vegetables, and seafood and is often served with naan bread or rice.
