Tandoori-Style Chicken recipe

Some like it hot.. and spicy! If you’re one of them, then this dish is for you:

Ingredients:

6 boned chicken thighs, skin on*
2/3 cup plain yoghurt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsps garam masala
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp chilli powder
tiny pinch saffron powder

Yoghurt dressing:
1 cup plain yoghurt
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1 tbsp chopped mint
1 tsp chilli powder

Procedure:

Trim away any excess fat from chicken. Combine yoghurt with garlic, garam masala, cardamom and chilli. Stir in saffron; add chicken, mix well. Marinate chicken at least 1 hour (or refrigerate, covered, overnight).

*As pictured above, I used chicken nibbles instead as these were the only ones available in my fridge.

Place chicken on rack over baking dish. Bake in very hot oven 10 minutes or until tender; it is not necessary to turn the meat during cooking. Cut into bite-sized pieces if desired before serving with Yoghurt Dressing.

Yoghurt Dressing: Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Happy cooking! ..and make sure that before you devour your yummy creation, have your drink ready. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
