Sure! Here's a simple recipe for Indian Tandoori Chicken:
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken leg quarters (or any other chicken pieces of your choice)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Tandoori masala (available at Indian grocery stores or you can make your own)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, Tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. Make shallow cuts on the chicken pieces to allow the marinade to penetrate.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them well. Make sure the chicken is well coated on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
4. Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. If using a grill, grease the grates to prevent sticking. If using an oven, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
6. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill or the wire rack in the baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
7. Grill or bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred appearance.
8. Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
9. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
