Have been recently getting a lot of requests for non vegetarian dishes. That’s why I thought of tandoori chicken. I have made this in oven and it took a long while for me to wrap up. So just a caution if your making tandoori chicken home please be patient. Marination can be done overnight. If you have a tandoor you can make in it or if you are just lazy to make tandoori style …… then just coat with corn flour and shallow fry them 🙂

I have reminiscences of my father bringing tandoori chicken, tandoori prawns, tandoori rawas along with green chutney and onions. He used to get for me and my sis almost every night on his way back.  I remember as a kid I used to love white butter chicken and tandoori prawns. I have enjoyed good food since my childhood. Thanks to my parents for that!

Actually I also made butter chicken today! It came out pretty well. To be honest it tasted awesome except it was a little salty. I added sea salt and it slightly went overboard on my measurements. However it tasted awesome with whole wheat butter naans. Also I have tried hyderabadi chicken biryani and boneless tandoori chicken which tasted great.

Let’s make Tandoori Chicken step by step details below:

1. Preheat oven at 220°C exactly 10 mins before baking. Place aluminium foil on the pan. This helps to induce heat and baking process. Firstly wash boneless chicken pieces and keep aside. Let’s prepare our marination. Combine 1 tbsp kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric, lime juice, black salt, cumin seed, chicken masala powder. Combine all nicely cover and keep aside for 30 to 40 mins.

2. Now mix hung curd with ginger-garlic paste, garam masala powder, combine kashmiri red chili powder, cumin seed powder, fennel seed powder, kasuri methi, coriander leaves, mint leaves, chat masala, anardana powder, rest of kashmiri chili powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder and salt. Combine nicely  with a beater in a bowl until is nicely mixed.

3. Now rub this curd marination on the chicken piece.  Sprinkle corn flour on it. Cover all nicely and keep aside into a freezer covered overnight Or for 3 to 4 hours. The longer the marination the better it is.

4. Take toothpick and insert into each chicken piece right at the center. Skewer all chicken pieces. Place the skewered chicken pieces at a one inch space from each other on the aluminium foil. Don’t cluster too many chicken at one go. Spread the marinated batter if any remaining. I spent 2 hours making tandoori chicken in oven. As my oven is small hence small tray.

5. Bake in oven at 220°C for 7 to 9 mins until its cooked and slightly brown.

6. Turn the chicken pieces upside down. Brush some butter on them. Bake for 4 to 5 mins more. Ensure you don’t over-bake them as the juices might get burnt and will stick to the foil. Repeat the same with other chicken pieces.

7. Remove the skewers sprinkle some lime juice, chat masala, chopped coriander-mint leaves, onion ringlets and tandoori chicken chutney.

Notes
1,Don't overbake as the chicken will get dried out and juices will evaporate.
2.You can add 2 tbsp black pepper it becomes Peppered Tandoori Chicken. Add less of chili powder else your stomach will get angry with that spice 😉
3.It's important to preheat the oven before baking chicken.
4.If you are using medium sized chicken ensure yo prick them with fork then marinate. As this process will help the marination to penetrate better in the chicken.
