材料

¾ kg (1.5 lbs.) chicken (skinless thighs or legs)

½ cup Greek yogurt (hung curd)

1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste (or grated in equal quantities)

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon red chilli powder (kashmiri or any low heat chilli)

¼ teaspoon black pepper crushed (powder)

1 teaspoon coriander powder (daniya powder)

¼ teaspoon salt (taste marinade & add more)

¼ teaspoon turmeric (haldi)

1 teaspoon kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1½ tablespoon oil (preferably mustard oil)

1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (to garnish)

1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder

1 to 2 tablespoon oil (preferably mustard oil)

手順

Prepare Tandoori Marinade

In a large mixing bowl, stir together yogurt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, turmeric, kasuri methi, pepper, coriander powder, oil and lemon juice. Taste, adjust salt and heat levels to your taste.

Pat dry chicken with paper towels and make deep slits (3 to 4 on larger thighs or 2 to 3 on smaller). Add them to the marinade & coat them well.

Cover and rest in the refrigerator for least 6 hours to overnight.

How to make Tandoori Chicken

Preheat the oven to 470 F - 240 C. (If using a smaller oven like a OTG, preheat at 430 F - 220 C). Place a wire rack over a baking tray, lined with foil for easy cleanup. Spray oil over the wire rack.

Arrange the marinated chicken on the rack. Roast/bake the chicken for a total of 25 to 30 mins (depending on the size of chicken), basting with chili oil/ melted butter after the first 12 to 15 mins. (Check at 12 mins mark)

Turn the chicken to the other side after basting and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes, followed by 2 to 3 minutes of broiling to get some charred spots. The timings can vary depending on your oven and the size of chicken. So adjust accordingly.

When the chicken is cooked through, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 165 to 170 F (75 C). Optionally you may smoke the chicken following the steps in my post.

Brush the drippings or melted butter all over the chicken to keep it moist. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with this Cilantro Chutney or Pudina Mint Chutney alongside onion and lemon wedges. For a complete meal, serve it with Turmeric rice, kachumber and Cucumber raita.
