Answer 2

This is from Pat Chapmans Curry Bible - All spices listed are ground and if you don't have scales to weigh the ground spices 5g is roughly equal to 1 teaspoon. 40g Coriander (Cilantro) 30g Cumim 40g Garlic Powder 40g Paprika 20g Ginger 20g Mango Powder 20g Dried Mint 20g Beetroot Powder 10g Anatto Seed Powder 10g Chilli Powder 5g Red Food colouring powder (optional) Mix them all together for a dry mix Tandoori Masala or add a little water to make a paste. I would imagine that you could pick all these wonderful spices up from your local asian supermarket and this will make about 250g of masala so there will be plenty left over which you can keep in an air-tight container and use again.

Answer 3

Tandoori masala is a mixture of spices specifically for use with a tandoor, or clay oven, in traditional north Indian and Afghani cooking. The specific spices vary somewhat from one region to another, but typically include fenugreek, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, etc.

The spices are ground to a fine powder in a coffee grinder or with a pestle and mortar. The masala is mixed with plain yogurt, and meat (usually chicken) is coated with the mixture, then slow-roasted in the tandoor. Chicken prepared in this fashion has a pink-colored exterior and a savory flavor.

The masala can be stored in airtight jars for up to 2 months, and is used in dishes like tandoori chicken, tikka, butter chicken etc, all of them mostly punjabi dishes. It can be used with meat other than chicken, for example, in tandoori fish or paneer tikka.

Nowadays, packets of tandoori chicken masala are readily available at major Indian supermarkets, with varying tastes depending on the brand. This convenience has led to many Indians buying the masala rather than making it at home.
