• Ingredients
  • 2 chicken leg quarters
  • 2 Tbsp yoghurt
  • ~1 inch ginger, ground into paste (1 Tbsp ground)
  • 2 cloves garlic, ground into paste
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
• Instructions
  • Mix all ingredients and marinate chicken for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight)
  • Grill chicken for ~20-30 minutes or bake at 200 C for 40-50 minutes until crispy
    • Note: if baking, bake in pan first for 20-30 minutes so it gets cooked through well, then fry until the marinade has dried.
  • Serve with chapati
  • Notes
    • It needs to be grilled for it to be authentic, but the baked version still tastes okay
    • It really needs to be properly done and crispy for it to be good
