Taste the lip-smacking, authentic North Indian specialty Tandoori chicken at Kurry Up

The Mughals were renowned all over the world for their delectable cuisines and usage of rich spices along with unique cooking techniques. The vaunted history of Tandoori Chicken came into existence since the reign of Mughal emperors. During those time, the Mughals used to serve this grilled chicken delicacy in their grand feasts organized in palaces. The Tandoori Chicken was one of their special delicacies that was always included in the menu. Just before the partition of India, Kundan Lal Gujaral the restaurateur who owned Moti Mahal in Peshawar added the traditional dish into his restaurant’s menu.

In order to lure the customers, Gujaral did include a wide variety of authentic Mughlai dishes including the Tandoori Chicken in the menu. In those days, the chicken wrapped with spicy mixture were cooked openly on mud ovens (better known as tandoors) and the delicacy was served hot to the costumers. The chickens were cooked with utmost care in the bell-shaped oven. The oven temperature of 900 degrees was maintained to ensure that the chicken pieces look crispy from outside. Later on, after the partition of India, Gujaral moved to Delhi and his restaurant Moti Mahal earned immense reputation.
