Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2  kg chicken (500 to 700 grams)
  • 1⁄2  cup greek yogurt
  • 3⁄4 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder (kashmiri or any low heat chilli)
  • 1⁄4 tsp black pepper crushed (powder)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder (daniya powder)
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp Turmeric (haldi)
  • 1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 11⁄2 tbsp oil (preferably mustard oil)

Method

  1. Marinate, cover and set aside for at least 6 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to the highest for at least 15 to 20 mins.
  3. Place a foil on an oven tray to collect the drippings. Then keep a greased wired rack on the tray. Place the chicken pieces over the wire rack. Grill the chicken for about 15 mins.
  4. After 15 mins, baste the leftover marinade over the chicken.
  5. Grill for another 6 to 10 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. The last 5 mins, set to broil mode. This gives the charred effect.
  7. Brush the drippings all over the chicken. This keeps the chicken moist.
  8. Serve with onion and lemon wedges.
