Tandoori Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• Chicken
• 2 tsp Turmeric
• 3-4 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tsp Lemon Juice
• 2-3 tbsp Oil
• 1 tbsp Red Chili Powder
• 2-3 tbsp Kashmiri Red Chili
• 2 tsp Cumin-Coriander 
• Salt to taste
• ¾ cup Hung curd
• 1 tsp Kasturi Methi
• ½ tsp Chat Masala
• 2 tbsp Tandoori Chicken Masala
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• 1 piece Coal
• 1 tsp Ghee
• Butter to brush 
• 1 tsp Cardamom Powder

Method:

First Marination:

1. Clean and wash the chicken thoroughly. Place the washed chicken on a plate, and add salt, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice.
2. Mix the ingredients well and allow the chicken to marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Second Marination:

1. In a bowl, combine oil, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, cumin-coriander powder, tandoori chicken masala, garam masala, kasturi methi, chaat masala, cardamom powder, and hung curd.
2. Mix the ingredients until a smooth paste is formed. Add the chicken to the marination, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
3. On high flame, heat a piece of coal. Place the hot coal in a small bowl or plate, add ghee on top, and cover with a lid for 3-4 minutes. This will infuse a smoky flavor into the chicken. Remove the lid and the coal, allowing the marination to rest for about 1 hour.

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat the microwave oven to 230 degrees Celsius.
2. Place the marinated chicken on a wire rack or microwave-safe plate and bake for 30-40 minutes until it’s tender.
3. Once cooked, brush the top of the chicken with butter.
4. Switch to the grill option on the microwave oven and grill the chicken for 5 minutes on each side to achieve perfect grill marks.
5. Once done, serve your tandoori chicken with green chutney or red chutney, along with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
