Chicken tikka and chicken tandoori are two popular Indian dishes, often confused due to their cooking method in a tandoor. Chicken tandoori has ancient roots dating back to 3,000 BCE and is typically marinated in yogurt and a variety of spices, allowing for deep flavor penetration. In contrast, chicken tikka is usually boneless and grilled, focusing on a different preparation and serving style. The article discusses these distinctions, explaining historical backgrounds, marination techniques, and cooking processes that set these two dishes apart at Indian restaurants.
