10 Easy Ways to Use Tandoori India Spice Blend

Tandoori India Spice Blend brings warm, bold, Indian-inspired flavor to chicken, vegetables, shrimp, fish, potatoes, rice bowls, wraps, marinades, dips, and more.

10 Easy Ways to Use Tandoori India Spice Blend

Tandoori-style cooking is known for bold color, warm spices, tangy marinades, and flavorful grilled or roasted foods.

Traditionally, tandoori dishes are cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor, but you do not need special equipment to enjoy those flavors at home.

Our Tandoori India Spice Blend brings that warm, aromatic, Indian-inspired flavor to everyday cooking. Use it with yogurt marinades, lemon juice, garlic, chicken, shrimp, fish, potatoes, vegetables, rice bowls, wraps, and more.

It is colorful, flavorful, and a wonderful way to make simple ingredients taste exciting.

1. Tandoori Chicken

Mix plain yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, a little oil, and Tandoori India Spice Blend.

Coat chicken thighs, drumsticks, breasts, or tenders and let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Longer is even better.

Bake, grill, air fry, or pan-cook until done.

Serve with rice, naan, cucumber salad, or a yogurt sauce.

2. Tandoori Chicken Skewers

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and marinate with yogurt, lemon juice, oil, garlic, and Tandoori India Spice Blend.

Thread onto skewers with onions, peppers, or tomatoes.

Grill or bake until cooked through.

These are great for summer grilling, party platters, rice bowls, or wraps.

3. Tandoori Roasted Cauliflower

Cut cauliflower into florets and toss with oil, yogurt if desired, and Tandoori India Spice Blend.

Roast at 400°F until browned and tender.

Serve as a side dish, in rice bowls, with chickpeas, or with a drizzle of yogurt sauce.

This is one of the easiest meatless ways to use the blend.

4. Tandoori Potatoes

Cut potatoes into wedges or cubes.

Toss with olive oil and Tandoori India Spice Blend, then roast until crispy and golden.

Serve with chicken, burgers, grilled meats, or a creamy dipping sauce.

These are wonderful as a side dish when you want something different from plain roasted potatoes.

5. Tandoori Shrimp

Toss shrimp with oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Tandoori India Spice Blend.

Let sit briefly, then cook quickly in a skillet, on skewers, or on the grill.

Serve with rice, salad, naan, or vegetables.

Shrimp cook fast, so this is a great weeknight option.

6. Tandoori Fish

Use Tandoori India Spice Blend on salmon, cod, tilapia, walleye, halibut, or other mild fish.

Brush fish with oil or yogurt marinade, sprinkle with the spice blend, and bake, grill, or pan-sear.

Finish with lemon.

Serve with rice, cucumber salad, roasted vegetables, or flatbread.

7. Tandoori Chickpeas

Drain and rinse canned chickpeas.

Toss with oil and Tandoori India Spice Blend, then roast until lightly crisp or warm in a skillet.

Use them in salads, wraps, rice bowls, or as a snack.

They are especially good with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and yogurt sauce.

8. Tandoori Rice Bowls

Build a flavorful rice bowl with cooked rice, tandoori chicken, shrimp, chickpeas, or roasted vegetables.

Add cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, greens, roasted cauliflower, potatoes, or naan pieces.

Top with yogurt sauce, lemon, cilantro, or a little chutney.

This is a great way to turn leftovers into a fresh meal.

9. Tandoori Yogurt Dip or Sauce

Stir a small amount of Tandoori India Spice Blend into plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Add lemon juice, garlic, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Use as a dip for vegetables, naan, crackers, roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, or shrimp.

Start with a small amount of spice blend and add more to taste.

10. Tandoori Wraps or Flatbread

Use leftover tandoori chicken, shrimp, chickpeas, or roasted vegetables in a wrap or flatbread.

Add lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and yogurt sauce.

This makes a quick lunch or easy supper.

You can also use naan or pita as the base for a tandoori-style flatbread pizza.
