Tandoori chicken drumsticks – Tips for plate presentation.
Tandoori chicken drumsticks, bright orange glow of turmeric, kashmiri chilli powder, cumin & garam masala in yogurt sauce makes it distinct.
Tandoori chicken drumsticks – The bright orange glow from the turmeric, kashmiri chilli powder, cumin, and garam masala in yogurt that coat the chicken and fall into a sauce topped up with basmati rice and naan are very easy to love.
In this post I am showing how to balance the height in a plate presentation. Always try to elevate your main course from your garnishes. If the main course is small in portion use a base with a matching accompaniment. I have used turmeric scented potato as a base for this tandoori chicken.
