Best Tandoori Chicken in Edmonton

About Our Tandoori Chicken

At Chache Da Dhaba, our Tandoori Chicken is prepared using time-honored Punjabi techniques. We begin with premium, fresh chicken pieces that are carefully scored to allow maximum flavor absorption. The marinade is where the magic begins - thick yogurt is blended with freshly ground ginger-garlic paste, vibrant Kashmiri chilli powder for that signature red color, garam masala, tandoori masala, a splash of lemon juice, and a touch of mustard oil. The chicken marinates for at least 4 hours, allowing the yogurt's natural enzymes to tenderize the meat while the spices penetrate deep into every piece.

The true transformation happens in our traditional clay tandoor oven, heated to extremely high temperatures. The chicken pieces are threaded onto long skewers and lowered into the tandoor, where they cook quickly, developing that characteristic smoky flavor and beautiful charred spots while remaining incredibly juicy inside. The intense heat creates a perfect balance - crispy, caramelized edges with tender, succulent meat that falls off the bone. Served sizzling hot with mint chutney, fresh onion rings, and lemon wedges, our Tandoori Chicken is a celebration of authentic North Indian culinary tradition.
