The Ancient Art of Tandoor Cooking
There is something primal and deeply satisfying about meat cooked over an open flame. In Indian cuisine, this art form reaches its pinnacle with the tandoor—a traditional cylindrical clay oven. If you are looking for the most succulent, perfectly charred, and spice-infused Tandoori Chicken in Surrey, you need to look for a kitchen that respects this ancient cooking method.
Welcome to Baba Chicken Surrey, where we have been mastering the art of the tandoor since our humble beginnings as a roadside dhaba in 1962 Ludhiana.
Why the Clay Tandoor Matters
In an effort to speed up service and cut costs, many modern restaurants have replaced traditional clay tandoors with conventional gas ovens or electric grills. While these appliances can cook chicken, they cannot recreate the magic of a real tandoor.
When you order Tandoori Chicken in Surrey from Baba Chicken, you are tasting the result of extreme heat. Our clay tandoors reach temperatures upwards of 900°F. When the marinated chicken is lowered into the oven, the intense heat sears the exterior instantly. This locks in all the natural juices while the drippings hit the hot charcoal at the bottom, sending a wave of aromatic smoke back up to flavor the meat. The result? A crispy, charred exterior and a juicy, tender interior that liquid smoke simply cannot replicate.
The Secret is in the Marinade
The heat is only half the story; the other half is the marinade. The best Tandoori Chicken in Surrey requires patience.
- The Yogurt Base: We use thick, high-quality yogurt that tenderizes the chicken over several hours, ensuring it melts in your mouth.
- The Spice Blend: Our marinade features a proprietary blend of spices—including roasted cumin, coriander, Kashmiri chili for a natural red hue, and a hint of turmeric.
- The Technique: Our chefs meticulously score the chicken pieces, allowing the rich marinade to penetrate deep into the bone, ensuring flavor in absolutely every single bite.
A Menu Built Around the Tandoor
While our standard Tandoori Chicken is an absolute must-try, the tandoor at Baba Chicken is always busy firing up an array of spectacular dishes:
- Chicken Malai Tikka: Creamy, mild, and incredibly tender.
- Mutton Seekh Kebab: Spiced minced meat cooked on skewers for a smoky finish.
