Trivia
[Hardcore] Biggest reason 'Tandoori Chicken is good for diet' lies in 'Tandoor (clay oven)' cooking method. Baking in high-temp kiln (or oven) drops excess fat remaining in meat down drop-by-drop, overwhelmingly cutting lipids compared to pan-frying. Furthermore, spices like chili/ginger promote sweating via capsaicin effect; perfected form of 'fat-burning protein' making body hot while eating.
