Tandoori: The Magic of the Mysterious Furnaces and the Magic of Spices

Tandoori is a traditional Indian cooking method that originated in the North Indian region. It is named after the tandoor, which is a clay oven where food is cooked at a high temperature. Tandoori dishes, including tandoori chicken, are known for their distinctive smoky flavour and simmering spices such as turmeric, ginger and garam masala. This technique has historical roots in Persian and Central Asian cuisine and with the spread of Indian emigration, it has become part of the world's culinary heritage.

Tandoori dishes are not just food, but part of a cultural heritage that symbolises Indian hospitality. In Indian cuisine, they represent a sharing and social ritual where food prepared in the tandoor is used to celebrate family and cultural events. Tandoori sauce is a modern version of these traditions, bringing an authentic taste to all who wish to sample Indian culinary culture.

Prepare chicken thighs with rice with this legendary Indian sauce!

Tandoori chicken thighs with rice (for 4 persons)

Raw materials

• 4 chicken thighs (preferably boneless)
• 1 jar of Yakso's Tandoori sauce
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, cut into strips
• 1 smaller zucchini, cut into half circles
• 1 cup fresh pineapple (or from a can), cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons chopped cashew nuts or peanuts
• Fresh coriander for garnish
• Lime slices for serving

Procedure

• Wash and dry the chicken thighs. Put them in a bowl and add the Tandoori sauce. Mix well so that the thighs are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 1-2 hours to allow the flavours to combine.
• Cook the basmati rice according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, cover and set aside to keep warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and fry the marinated chicken thighs. Sear them on all sides until golden brown (about 10-12 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the thighs), until cooked through.
• In the same pan where you roasted the chicken thighs, add the chopped onions, peppers, zucchini and pineapple. Sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but remain crisp.

Serving

Serve a portion of basmati rice on a plate, add the vegetable mixture and place the baked chicken thighs on top. Sprinkle with chopped cashews or peanuts, garnish with fresh coriander and add a slice of lime for flavour

Indian gastronomy: tradition, history and the art of serving

The gastronomy of the Indian subcontinent is deeply rooted in thousands of years of history, religious customs and cultural diversity. Traditional cuisine draws inspiration from regional ingredients, with spices such as turmeric, cardamom, cumin and cinnamon playing a key role. The diet is often vegetarian, mainly due to the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism, but regional cuisines also include meat dishes, for example in Muslim communities.

Serving food in India is not only about taste, but also about symbolism and rituals. Traditionally, dishes are served on banana leaves or metal bowls called thalis, where food is arranged in small bowls with an emphasis on balanced flavours - sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Sharing a meal is a symbol of hospitality, and in many households the custom of eating with the hands is still observed, which is meant to bring people closer together over their food.

The history of Indian gastronomy is also a history of trade routes and cultural exchange. Through the Silk Road, and thanks to the influence of the Mughal Empire and the colonial era, new ingredients such as potatoes, tomatoes and chillies were introduced to Indian cuisine. This blend of traditions and influences has created a unique cuisine that is now one of the most respected in the world.
