Notes

Use Kashmiri Chili peppers for less heat and more red color. That's what they use in India too.
The Tandoori Paste makes a medium-sized batch.
Use how much ever needed to marinate chicken, vegetables, fish, seafood, soy or mushrooms and freeze the rest for another day.
If you can't get Chaat Masala for the paste, just leave it out as it is optional. Chaat Masala can give a very authentic Indian flavor to the Tandoori Paste. You can also use black salt as a substitute.
