We decided to wind back the clock and remember the time when the Baadshah of Bollywood spoke about his food habits. The great actor who hails from a north Indian background spoke about his favourite food. He said he is a huge fan of Tandoori Chicken.
Tandoori chicken is prepared by ‘roasting chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices in a tandoor, which is a cylindrical clay oven. The special dish was initiated from the Indian subcontinent and is famous in several parts of the world. During an interview with a leading daily, SRK said that he loves the dish so much that he can eat it 365 days a year.
