I am blessed with people who love food. So everyday evening is very interesting. It my nature that I do not follow any recipe as the cooking comes from my heart. My son Mohnish says, thats the beauty of my cooking'.
Everybody loves grilled food but usually here in India the tandoor stuff is colourful. I do not recommend food colours. So in preparing a chicken tandoori, I devised my own masala usually called afghani..i suppose..white in colour. This mixure of spices brings out the flavours of the chicken, the marinade softens the meat that it simply melts in your mouth.
Today on the menu is tandoori chicken legs. I will share my recipe with you, please try it and give me your comments. I do not prepare any food to be very pungent to taste. So, if need be please add green chilli paste to the masala according to your taste.
Recipe for the marinade:
Thick curd, full cream, ginger-garlic paste, lime juice, black/white pepper powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, oil.
Method: Mix all ingredients very well. Make incisions on the chicken legs and rub the masala mixture. keep aside for 3-4 hours. Heat the tandoor, oil the grill plate and place the chicken legs. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes. (time may differ in the type of grill used)
Serve with raw onions or salad.
Do try this out and post your comments.
The recipe itself makes my mouth water...Can't wait to taste it...I know its gonna be yummy...:)
