The Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru brings the best and the finest “Tandoori Chicken” across the country

MAY 23^rd, 2022, BENGALURU, INDIA: The Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru brings to you the much talked about “Tandoori Chicken” that is the best and the finest across the country!

Exclusively available at the rooftop Indian fine dine restaurant - FALAK, this recipe is a personally guarded recipe using techniques recreated by the legendary Master Chef Farman Ali who has close to five decades of culinary experience. Chef Farman Ali along Chef JP Singh and Chef Prabhjeet took close to 4 months of time to re-create this magical delight with the perfect mix of spices and herbs and an efficient & precise cooking technique, a technique that is the most crucial element to this masterpiece.

Curated by our Tandoor specialised chefs, what makes this Amritsari Roasted Tandoori Chicken unique is the technique, the two temperature-controlled tandoors, and the precision with which the masalas are concocted to enhance the flavour and texture of the chicken as the highlight of the dish. The chicken is cooked through a two-step temperature specific method through two different tandoors.

Presented using a whole chicken close to 1200 grams, the selection of the chicken is very crucial to deliver the stellar end product. The chefs ensure that the outer flesh is delicately roasted while the meat inside remains succulent and extremely tender while preserving the spices and the juices. This precision of the meat’s perfection is owed to the double marination process, wherein the first marination takes place 48-hour prior, and the second marination is applied 24 hours prior to the final cooking process of the Great Indian Tandoori Chicken which is cooked to perfection in 20 minutes with techniques that produce mystic flavours.

"The Amritsari Roasted Tandoori Chicken is not just the star dish of Falak but also the best Tandoor Chicken that one can find. The subtle richness of the dish, the superb quality of the bird marinated with hand pounded spices and herbs and the extreme vigil precision makes it the best Tandoori Chicken of India. We have some of the top, coveted, chefs in the country here with us who, combined together, bring in more than a century of experience from Old Delhi and parts of Punjab. This dish is unique because it is strongly reminiscent of everyone’s most fond food memories. We are certain this Amritsari Roasted Tandoori Chicken dish will put us on the global culinary map in times to come!"
