Recipe for Tandoori Masala
🍗 Classic Tandoori Chicken 🍗
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
-
1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best)
-
2 tbsp tandoori masala (this is the star!)
-
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder (for color, optional)
-
½ tsp turmeric
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tbsp oil (mustard or vegetable)
-
A few drops of red food coloring (optional, for the classic look)
Other Ingredients:
-
8 pieces of chicken (legs, thighs, or breast with skin on)
-
1 onion, sliced
-
Lemon wedges, for serving
-
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
-
Make deep slashes (2-3 cuts) on each piece of chicken. This helps the marinade penetrate deeply.
-
Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels.
-
-
Make the Marinade:
-
In a large bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
-
-
Marinate:
-
Add the chicken to the bowl and coat every piece thoroughly with the marinade, making sure to get it into the slashes.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This is the key to flavorful and tender chicken!
-
-
Cook the Chicken:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet (to allow air to circulate) and arrange the chicken pieces on it.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Then, flip the pieces and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred, "tandoori" appearance.
-
For Grilling: Grill over medium-hot coals for 15-20 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through.
-
-
Serve:
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro and onion slices. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
-
Perfect Pairings: Serve with naan bread, cucumber raita, and a side of fresh salad.
