A traditional Tandoori incorporates substantial amounts of cayenne pepper and is very spicy. If you enjoy a spicier dish, feel free to add cayenne pepper or another ground red chili to the marinade. Garam masala is an indian spice blend and can be found in the spice aisle of most major grocery stores. If you can’t find it, you can make your own – I’ve included the directions at the bottom of the Tandoori Chicken recipe
