  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (or Indian red chili powder)

  • ¼ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 small pinch orange food color (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime or lemon juice

Notes

Kasoori methi is dried fenugreek leaves that adds a very authentic tandoori taste. It can be found in all Indian grocery stores, some Asian supermarkets  and Amazon.

Orange color gives it a tandoori chicken look. It’s totally optional. 

Do not reduce the oil.
