How to Make Tandoori Flavoured Chicken curry; in roadside Dhaba especially in Northern -West India you can find the chicken or any other curry they serve with Tandoori roti also having the taste of Tandoori. The main reason is that they roast everything before they prepare a curry. Here I also marinate the chicken chunks and potatoes and then roasted them in the gas oven; then I prepared the curry, which makes the tandoori flavoured chicken.
