Tandoori Masala is a classic Indian spice blend used to season meats, seafood, and vegetables for grilling, roasting, or baking. It delivers the signature smoky, mildly spicy, and aromatic flavor associated with traditional tandoor-style cooking.
This blend combines earthy cumin, citrusy coriander, and warm paprika for color and mild heat. Ginger adds a bright, zesty note, while garlic brings depth and savory richness. Together, these spices create a balanced, versatile seasoning ideal for marinades, especially when mixed with yogurt and lemon juice.
Tandoori Masala is commonly used for dishes like tandoori chicken, tikka, grilled vegetables, and paneer. It provides a vibrant red hue and a full, well-rounded flavor without overpowering the food.
