Tandoori chicken!

Tandoori Chicken is popular dish which is enjoyed worldwide. Easy to prepare and yummy for your tummy! It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in a tandoor, but can also be prepared in OTG or barbeque grill. Here is the home made version of Tandoori chicken cooked in OTG!

Portions: serves 2-4

Ingredients:
2 breast and 2leg pieces each
For marinate paste:
2 table spoon ginger garlic paste
2 table spoon hung curd(curd hanged in a cloth overnight)
2 table spoon Kashmiri red chilli powder.
1 table spoon garam masala
1 whole lemon juice
1 table spoon of dhania and jeera powder
salt to taste

Procedure:
Wash clean and prick the chicken flesh with the knife edge or using fork. Marinate the chicken pieces. Ensure that the masala is applied in the cuts and keep it over night for better results. Pre-heat the oven to 200-250 degree centigrade for 10-15 mins. Place the marinated pieces in the oven for about 30-40 mins or until done. Serve hot with sliced onion, lemon wedge.

Note:
Red colour can be added in marination to make it look more deep red.
Tandoor can be used instead of OTG
To reduced the cooking time I have pan fried it first and then transferred the half done chicken to OTG.
