Chicken Tandoori

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Poultry, Indian

 Ingredients List

  • 3 1/2 lb Chicken pieces
  • 1 md Onion, minced
  • 3 Cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 ts Fresh chopped ginger
  • 10 oz Natural yoghurt
  • 1 Lemon rind & juice
  • 2 tb Vinegar
  • 1 ts Paprika
  • 2 ts Garam masala
  • 2 ts Ground coriander
  • 1 ts Ground cumin
  • 1/2 ts Red food colouring

 Directions

Skin chicken pieces, score with sharp knife. In non-metallic bowl,mix all
ingredients. Marinate chicken in mixture overnight, turning to marinate
evenly. Cook on brazier bbq so that flames have direct contact with chicken
(ie not on a hot-plate), or in a vertical grill on maximum heat. The object
here is to emulate the tandoor as much as possible in cooking with intense,
dry heat.

Serve with rice, naan, lettuce, onion rings, cucumber slices and lemon
wedges.

I personally add ground mint and ground very hot chilli powder the above
marinade. I probably don't want to know what the original red coloured
powder is in the tandoori powder I buy from Indian spice merchants, but it
adds to the authenticity. I now mainly use a powder tandoori marinate from
Keens. It is cheap, easy and authentic. Have fun.
