A Dish Steeped in Tradition

The word “Tangdi” refers to the drumstick of the chicken, while “Kabab” indicates meat that has been marinated and grilled. The Peshwari Tangdi Kabab is inspired by the royal kitchens of Peshawar, where kababs were served as a symbol of luxury and indulgence. This dish carries forward that legacy, combining traditional marinades with the tandoori cooking technique, resulting in a kabab that’s packed with flavor and cooked to juicy perfection.

At Namastey Kitchen Darbar, we have preserved the authenticity of this ancient recipe while adding our own signature touch, ensuring that every bite transports you to the rich culinary heritage of India.

The Marination: Layers of Flavor

What makes our Peshwari Tangdi Kabab truly exceptional is the careful marination process. We start by selecting the best quality, tender chicken drumsticks, which are then marinated in a rich blend of spices and yogurt. The yogurt serves to tenderize the meat, while the spices infuse deep, bold flavors that are absorbed throughout the drumsticks.

Our special marinade includes a mix of ingredients like:

  • Hung Curd: Adds creaminess and tenderizes the chicken, ensuring it remains juicy and flavorful after grilling.
  • Ginger and Garlic Paste: These aromatic ingredients provide a bold, pungent base that enhances the overall flavor of the kababs.
  • Red Chili and Turmeric: A dash of spice and color, creating that signature golden hue and slight heat.
  • Garam Masala and Coriander Powder: Traditional Indian spices that add depth and warmth, giving the kababs their earthy, robust flavor.
  • Saffron and Almond Paste: These luxury ingredients elevate the dish with a subtle, rich sweetness and a creamy texture, reminiscent of royal feasts.

This marinade penetrates the meat for hours, ensuring that every bite of chicken is bursting with flavor and melts in your mouth.

Cooking in the Tandoor: Smoky Perfection

After marinating, the drumsticks are skewered and placed in our traditional clay tandoor oven, which is heated to incredibly high temperatures. This method of cooking sears the outside of the chicken, locking in all the juices and creating a crispy, slightly charred exterior. The smoky flavor imparted by the tandoor adds another layer of complexity to the dish, making each bite a delightful experience.

Cooking the Peshwari Tangdi Kabab in the tandoor also ensures that the chicken remains tender and moist on the inside while achieving that irresistible crispiness on the outside—a texture contrast that makes this dish truly special.
