One of the favorite and famous Indian dishes is chicken tandoori. I tried so many varieties of chicken, but never dared to attempt this thinking that it would be very complex to make.
I usually refer to vahchef Sanjay Thumma for Indian recipes. When i saw his video for this recipe, i felt foolish that i did not try it before.
Lets start...
Ingredients:
Chicken - 500 gms (leg are thigh pieces are ideal)
yogurt - 5 tbs
ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
lime - 1
pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
coriander powder - 1 tsp
red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
cumin powder - 1 tsp
turmeric - 1/4 tsp
salt
oil - 2 tbsp
The ingredients might seems a lot, but once you have them the process of making is very simple. Adjust the spices according to your taste. You must be really careful of how much chilli powder and salt you are using.
Make 2-3 deep long slits on each so that all the spices go into chicken and flavor it perfectly.
Take 1/4 tsp chilli powder and 1/4 tsp salt into small cup. squeeze half lime into it and mix it to make a paste.
Apply this paste to chicken. First apply it into the deep cuts you made and then remaining paste to entire chicken pieces.
Now add curd to a big bowl. Add remaining chilli powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, turmeric and salt. Squeeze half lime into it and mix properly to make a thick paste.
Add chicken pieces to this mix and apply the paste to chicken. Make sure you apply the paste to the slits you made on chicken. Once the paste is uniformly applied to chicken pieces, add oil and make sure all pieces are coated with oil.
Preheat oven to 200 C. Place chicken pieces over an over tray and apply remaining paste over them. it will take around 20 minutes for chicken to cook properly in oven.
Enjoy yummy n spicy chicken tandoori.
