Tandoori chickenPreparation time : - 15 minutes Serves : - 2

Ingredients :

500 grams chicken

1/ 2 cup curd(yoghurt)

1 tablespoon red chilly paste

1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon red chilly powder

1 teaspoon garam masala (hot spice mix)

2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon oil and salt to taste.


Method :

Cut the chicken into small pieces and make slits in them. Take a big bowl and put

the chicken in it. Now add the red chilly powder, ½ tablespoon lemon juice and salt.

Mix it all up and let the chicken marinate for at least an hour. Now in another bowl

pour the curd and add the ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin

seeds and red chilly paste. Beat it nicely so that all the ingredients blend well

and there should be no lumps. Now add this to the chicken and mix it well. Now with

the help of a fork make as many tiny holes as you can in the chicken. This will help

the masala to seep into the chicken. Marinate it for another hour and then

refrigerate it over night. Now if you have a tandoor or if you have an open hot

grill barbeque the chicken for 10 minutes or till its tender. Apply the butter on

the chicken and roast for a minute. Garnish with onion roundels and lemon juice and

serve hot.
