Tandoori Masala

Hello friends, hope you all are doing good and enjoying the warm and cozy feeling of winter which has just begun in India. I personally enjoy this season a lot as it offers foggy mornings, breeze of cold air over the face, warmth of woolen clothes, fragrance of hot cup of tea with my favorite cookies and a lot of similar things.

Earlier this month, on a laid back Sunday, I made Tandoori Chicken with Chicken Biryani (which is a weekly affair at our home) that time a thought struck to my mind that I haven't shared the recipe of Tandoori Chicken. But when I realized it was too late and the whole plate of Tandoori Chicken was devoured. 

I always make Chicken Tandoori with homemade Tandoori Masala and it is always a hit in my family. So, today I'm sharing the recipe of homemade Tandoori Masala and believe me if you taste this recipe you will forget to buy store bought Masala.
