Culinary Uses of tandoori masala in Indian Cooking

• Tandoori masala, as the name suggests, is an essential ingredient in the preparation of tandoori dishes.

• It can be used in marinades or added to hot oil before the main ingredient or along with it.

• For marinating, it is usually mixed with curds. Succulent cubes of paneer, baby corn, capsicum and other veggies can be marinated in this mixture before grilling in a barbecue, or baking in an oven or tandoor.

• Dry roast a little tandoori masala over a slow flame and mix into mayonnaise for an unusual dip for serving with crisps or chips.

• The masala also goes well with mixed peppers and potatoes.

• You can try adding it to tomato and cream based curries too.
