Tandoori chicken finds its origins in Moti Mahal in Delhi, India. The first Prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, liked the dish so much that he made it a recurring menu item at official banquets. Many notable emissaries and politicians from other countries who were fond of the dish include Richard Nixon, JFK, Nikolai Bulganin, and Nikita Khrushchev – along with the kings of Nepal and Iran.
