Tandoori Aloo (potatoes) is a delicious recipe of baby potatoes marinated in yogurt and spices, threaded to skewers, and cooked in the oven for crispy smoky starter.
Authentic Tandoori Aloo in restaurants are prepared in a special clay oven called ‘Tandoor.’ The vegetables or meat are marinated and then grilled at very high heat in a tandoor. However, at home I smoke the potatoes and grill them in the oven at a high temperature to recreate similar flavours and textures.
This recipe of Tandoori Aloo or Tandoori Aloo Tikka is not brimming with flavour and is a super easy gluten free appetizer too. The most important part of this recipe is to par boil the potatoes just enough so they hold the shape while grilling, marinating for as long as you can and finally smoking the potatoes before grilling.
