Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yogurt and a spice blend, then cooked in a hot tandoor oven. The marinade carries ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander and chili, which give the meat its familiar red orange color. A good tandoori has lightly charred edges while the inside stays juicy. In Baku it usually arrives with a lemon wedge, onion rings and a mint sauce. The heat stays moderate, so it suits most people. A half chicken usually costs from 12 ₼ to 18 ₼, while a full portion runs from 20 ₼ to 30 ₼. It pairs well with flatbread or rice.
