Question:

What is the purpose of adding yogurt to tandoori chicken besides taste?


Answers:

Yogurt contains natural acids and enzymes that help to break down muscle fibers in protein (chicken). Authentic Tandoori chicken is made in a very high heat clay oven known as a tandoor. The yogurt marinated chicken will remain moist, succulent & juicy even when exposed to such high heat tandoori oven temps (900 deg F or more). The outside will get that delicious charred layer but the inside should be moist. Yogurt is a key in achieveing this delicious taste.
