Recipe FAQ

Tandoori Appetizer Recipes — common questions

What's the best marinade base for tandoori appetizers?+
A yogurt-based marinade is standard for almost every tandoori appetizer — the acidity tenderizes the protein while the fat helps spices stick and prevents the surface from drying out under high heat.
Can I prep tandoori appetizers ahead for a party?+
Yes — marinate everything up to 24 hours in advance and keep it refrigerated. Skewer just before cooking so the tandoor does the rest in minutes when guests arrive.
Do vegetarian appetizers cook the same way as meat ones?+
Mostly yes. Paneer and mushroom skewers cook faster than chicken, usually 10 to 12 minutes, so keep an eye on them to avoid drying out the paneer.
What's the difference between tikka and kebab?+
Tikka usually refers to boneless chunks of marinated meat or paneer grilled on a skewer, while kebab is a broader term that can include ground and shaped meat, like seekh kebab.
