The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Peshawar & Delhi📅 1940s🍗 IN

Tandoori chicken as we know it is credited to Kundan Lal Gujral, who cooked chicken in a clay tandoor at his restaurant in Peshawar and, after Partition in 1947, at Moti Mahal in Delhi's Daryaganj.

The dish became a sensation, served to politicians and visiting dignitaries, and soon spread to Indian restaurants around the world.

⭐ Why It's Famous

Tandoori chicken made the tandoor famous worldwide and gave rise to butter chicken and chicken tikka masala.

💡 Fun Fact

A real tandoor can reach temperatures above 400°C, which is why the chicken chars on the outside while staying juicy inside.
