Recipe Story

The Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yogurt and the traditional Indian spices. Traditionally made in a tandoor or an earthen oven , the Tandoori tastes equally delicious in an oven or the gas tandoor…trust me. I make the Tandoori chicken on my gas tandoor and like to pair it with the naan (Indian bread) and a dry salad.

Ingredients

Chicken -1 (1 kg – cut into 4)

Yogurt- 3 tbsp

Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp

Cummin powder( jeera )- 1 tbsp

Pepper powder – 1 tsp

Red chilli powder – 1 to 2 tsp (according to taste)

Salt – as per taste

Garam masala powder- 1 tsp

Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

Wash and clean the chicken. Marinate the chicken in a mixture of all the ingredients. Keep marinated overnight in the refrigerator. Take out. Cook in the gas tandoor or the oven for approximately 15 minutes on each side (or till done). Serve with any of the Indian breads.

Thanks ganesh and snigdha. Ya Snigdha butter chicken is another of my favorites and so use the left over tandoori for making butter chicken like u do. I make the Tandoori chicken on the gas tandoor and like the slightly smoked taste.
