Tandoori Chicken

My Picture Quality is not very clear

I love tandoori chicken or chicken tikka. This is a dish that originated in India and is cooked in a tandoor or earthen oven or even on a grill. In South Africa there are a vast variety of shops that sell tandoori chicken with Fordsburg being the haven for delicious Chicken Tikka and fragrant soft Naan.

I have tried this recipe on numerous occasions and every time - it has come out perfect.

Recipe:
4 Chicken Quarters
Plain Yoghurt
1 Tsp of Garam Masala
Ginger Garlic Masala (This is made in large quantities and stored in the fridge)
Garlic
1/2 Tsp ground coriander
Lemon Juice
Salt
Few drops of red colouring
Oil

Marinade the chicken quarters with the above ingredients. I made slits in the chicken so the marinade infuses right to the bone. Leave to marinade for 3 hours or overnight. Place chicken pieces in roasting pan and grill on 240 C for 20 - 25 minutes.

Serve with Chips and Salad....
