I wish I could have a proper tandoor at home! (home is a flat right now)
A stunning combination of curd and spices make it a perfect marinade. To give it a richer taste, while the chicken is getting baked / roasted. it should be brushed with ghee / oil.
In spite of baking it in an oven, I have tried my best to do justice to this lip-smacking delicious dish.
An all time favorite, especially with a nice chilled glass of beer.
Tastes very very delicious when accompanied with sliced onions and lemon.

PREP TIME MARINATION TOTAL TIME SERVINGS | 10 - 15 Minutes 10 - 12 Hours Minimum 1 1/2 - 2 Hours @ 190 Deg C 1 Portion |
INGREDIENTS Chicken Yogurt Ginger - Garlic Paste Lime Juice Cumin Powder Red Chilli Powder (Kashmiri ) Salt | QUANTITY 1 whole 200 ml 2 tbsp 2 tbsp 1 tbsp 1 - 2 tbsp |
RECIPE
Mix all the ingredients together and marinate the chicken for atleast 10 - 12 hours atleast.
Grill the chicken in a pre-heated oven at 190 deg C.
Tastes best with mint chutney, lemon and chopped onions.
MY NOTES
To make the marinade less watery, take the required amount of curd, place it in a muslin / cotton cloth, and hand the curd for atleast 4-5 hours to remove all the water from it.
Then add all the other ingredients in it. This would give you a nice thick marinade.
Tandoori chicken is a whole chicken, marinaded overnight, cooked on a spit in a tandoor oven.
Chicken tikka is bits of chicken, coated in yoghurt and spices (and sometimes besan flour) and cooked in a tandoor. Both should have spices, garlic and ginger in a full fat yoghurt base, with finely chopped coriander leaf.
