What is Tandoori Paste?
You can certainly make tandoori paste at home, but it demands a certain depth in the spice rack. Here is one method:
Tandoori Paste Toast two tablespoons each of coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds, one tablespoon each of black peppercorns and cloves, and a teaspoon of cardamom seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat for about a minute. Remove them from the heat, let them cool and grind them to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder. Mix with 1/4 cup of paprika, a teaspoon of ground fenugreek leaves, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, and a teaspoon (or as much as you can bear) of cayenne pepper. Mix with enough peanut oil to form a thick paste. There are a variety of brands and versions of tandoori paste available online a tandoori grilling paste, a spicy garlic and ginger version, and a version for seafood and chicken. Tandoori paste is often mixed with yogurt, minced garlic, chopped onion, lemon juice (and often ginger, as well) to make a specially flavorful marinade. |
