Tandoori Chicken

 

Tandoori Chicken

This is a delicious recipe.

The chicken is marinated overnight to infuse the spices. It goes really well with a nice salad and a yogurt & mint raita.

Ingredients:

4-6 chicken thighs (bone in, skin removed). 

1 tblsp cooking oil

Juice from 1 lemon

3 or 4 Garlic cloves

2cm piece of grated Ginger

1 Green chilli chopped

200ml of Greek style Yogurt

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Garam Masala

1 tsp Cumin seeds crushed

1 tblsp Red Kashmiri Chilli powder

1 tblsp Dried Fenugreek leaves. 

Method:

Slash the chicken a couple of times down to the bone. 

Blend or pound the Garlic, Ginger and Green Chilli to a pulp. 

Put the chicken in a large bowl and mix in the Garlic, Chilli and ginger mix. 

Now stir in the Lemon Juice and Cooking Oil. 

In a separate bowl mix the yogurt with all the other ingredients. 

Add this mixture to the Chicken and mix well using your hands. 

Once mixed, cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 2 hours. 

Next, place under a hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, allowing to blacken slightly to give that authentic charred look. 

Make sure the Chicken is cooked right through and juices run clear. 

Enjoy!
