Tandoori if you&#8217;re not familiar,  is a cuisine style, an oven and a beloved cuisine of India. Tandoor is clay oven and normally used for grilling meats, breads, vegetables, kebabs etc. Tandoori chicken being one of the most popular and has a cult following all over the world. Tandoori is usually a community oven or set up in restaurants, but for the rest of us who don&#8217;t own a tandoor a regular oven can stand in beautifully. To achieve the smokiness you would get from a tandoor, I add some smoked paprika along with traditional spice mix. You could find all the spices at a good Indian grocery store or online. Its worth stocking them if you like to experiment Indian cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kachumbar salad is an Indian version of salsa. Its a simple chopped salad served with Indian meals. Normally cucumber, onions, tomato radishes and\/or green chillies are chopped or sliced and served along side a meal. I added mangoes for a sweet fruity touch and it works really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex

class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1-2\u00a0mango, diced into small cubes, should yield about 1 cup<\/li><li>2-3 Persian cucumbers, diced into small cubes, should yield about 1 cup<\/li><li>1 medium red

Let it marinate for about 30 minutes to one hour. Don&#8217;t leave it more than a hour, this fish tends to dry. <\/li><li> Place the salmon pieces on a baking tray with parchment paper. <\/li><li>Place it in the oven skin side down and bake for 25-30 minutes. Depends on the thickness of the  salmon. <\/li><li>Crank the oven to high broil  and cook for 5 minutes. Let the salmon sit for 5 minutes before servings. I find salmon cooked this way renders moist, perfectly cooked through, crispy edges and not dry fish. <\/li><li>In a small bowl, combine the diced mango, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, jalape\u00f1o, lime juice, black salt, ground cumin. Mix well. <\/li><li>To serve plate each piece of salmon over mango kachumbar and rice or quinoa. Serve with additional herbs, chia seeds and lime. \u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12061\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=12061\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?fit=1364%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1364,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1581964362&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;105&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.5&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_6115-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?resize=819%2C1229\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12061\" width=\"819\" height=\"1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?resize=1023%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC_6115-3.jpg?w=1364&amp;ssl=1 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tandoori anything in one word is delicious.
