Ingredients
  

  • Chicken - 1 kg cut into medium-sized pieces
  • Yoghurt - 1 cup
  • Ginger-garlic paste - 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Kasuri methi dried fenugreek leaves - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Butter - for basting
  • Fresh coriander leaves - for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, kasuri methi, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or heat a tandoor to medium-high temperature.
  • Place the marinated chicken pieces on a greased baking tray or tandoor skewers. If using a baking tray, make sure to leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
  • Cook the chicken in the preheated oven or tandoor for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a beautiful golden brown color. Flip the pieces halfway through for uniform cooking.
  • Once cooked, baste the chicken with butter for an added richness and depth of flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot, accompanied by mint chutney and naan bread for a complete Indian culinary experience.
