About Tandoori Masala

---

The history of tandoori masala is closely tied to the ancient method of cooking in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven used widely across South Asia for centuries. The tandoor itself has roots stretching back to the Indus Valley Civilization (around 3000 BCE), where early versions of these ovens were used for baking bread. However, it wasn’t until the 1940s that tandoori masala became iconic, thanks to the culinary innovations of chef Kundan Lal Gujral.

Today, tandoori masala is used widely in kitchens around the world, adapted to various dishes beyond the tandoor and sometimes used to add a smoky, robust flavor to roasted vegetables, grilled seafood, and even fusion dishes like pizzas and burgers. Its history reflects the deep-rooted culinary heritage of the subcontinent and its ability to evolve and blend with global cuisines.
