Description
The two-stage tandoori marinade works because each stage has a different chemical function: the first stage (salt and acid) denatures and tenderises; the second stage (yogurt and spices) coats and protects. Understanding this sequence explains why the stages cannot be combined — the acid in the first stage would partially break down the yogurt proteins in a combined marinade, reducing its adhesive properties.
