Tandoori Chicken Wings Recipe
This recipe came straight from the movie. Though the image and the recipe ingredients call for chicken drumsticks, and the recipe is called Tandoori Chicken Wings, the most common name for this recipe is TANDOORI CHICKEN. It makes no difference what is used in a recipe: drumsticks or wings. What matters is the type of meat – chicken! I tried the recipe, and it came out awesome and could use either drumsticks or wings.
In India and Pakistan, they use a clay oven – tandoor – to prepare many meals. The origin of the recipe comes from the place it’s cooked in – tandoor.
This Indian recipe calls for “garam masala.” It is a concoction of amazingly aromatic Indian spices. Most of them you’ve heard of!
What is Indian Garam Masala?
And what ingredient is Garam Masala made of? Usually, garam masala includes coriander, cumin, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Other variations of garam masala may call for these ingredients: turmeric, saffron, fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, mace, star anise, tamarind, fenugreek, bay leaves or Malabar leaves.

Madame Mallory’s (Helen Mirren) icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s (Manish Dayal) passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore.
At first Madame, Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
