The chicken is marinated in [[yogurt]] and seasoned with the spice mixture ''[[tandoori masala]]''. [[Cayenne pepper]], red [[chili powder]] or Kashmiri red chili powder is used to give it a fiery red hue. A higher amount of [[turmeric]] produces an orange color. In milder versions, both red and yellow [[food coloring]] are sometimes used to achieve bright colors, but turmeric powder is both mild and brightly colored, as is [[paprika]], a sweet red pepper powder. |

The marinated chicken is placed on skewers and cooked at high temperatures in a heated clay oven known as the [[Tandoor]]. It is heated with charcoal or wood which adds to the smoky flavour. The dish can also be cooked in a standard oven and over hot charcoal.<ref>{{cite book | last=der Haroutunian | first=A. | title=Yogurt Cookbook | publisher=Grub Street | series=Armenian Research Center collection | year=2007 | isbn=978-1-906502-61-4 | url=http://books.google.com/books?id=taBxBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA184 | page=184}}</ref> |
