Tandoori chicken is a popular dish with deep roots in Indian cuisine, especially in the northern regions. The dish's origins are often credited to the Punjab region, which spans parts of modern-day India and Pakistan. The concept of cooking meat in a tandoor (a traditional clay oven) dates back thousands of years, with the tandoor itself being an ancient cooking device used across the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

The key milestones in the origin of Tandoori chicken are:

Ancient Roots of the Tandoor: The tandoor oven has been used for thousands of years in the Indian subcontinent. Its use dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization (around 2,000 BCE). The tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven that is traditionally heated with charcoal, providing intense heat that cooks food quickly and imparts a unique smoky flavor.
Mughal Influence: During the Mughal Empire (16th to 18th centuries), the culinary traditions of the Central Asian nomadic people mixed with the regional cuisine. This is where dishes like kebabs and the use of the tandoor for cooking meat began to gain popularity in the Indian subcontinent. However, it was the introduction of marinating meats with yogurt and spices that made Tandoori chicken distinct.
The Modern Tandoori Chicken: The version of Tandoori chicken that we know today, characterized by its bright red color and complex marinade, is often attributed to the famous Punjabi restaurant, Moti Mahal in Delhi, India, in the 1940s. The story goes that the restaurant’s owner, Kundan Lal Gujral, invented the dish when he used the tandoor to cook chicken after a power outage left his regular cooking methods unavailable. He marinated the chicken in a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, which not only helped tenderize the meat but also gave it a rich flavor.
Over time, Tandoori chicken became a central part of Indian cuisine, and its influence spread to many parts of the world, especially as Indian immigrants introduced it to new countries.

Today, Tandoori chicken is a beloved dish in Indian restaurants worldwide, known for its vibrant color, smokiness, and rich, spiced flavor.
