Chicken Tikka

Ingrediants:

1. 1 kg. chicken
2. 11/2 tsp. ginger (Adrak) paste
3. 11/2 tsp. garlic (Lehsan) paste
4. bunch fresh Coriander (Dhaniya) leaves
5. 3-4 green chilies
6. 1 medium onion
7. 1 tsp garam masala
8. 4-5 whole dried red chilies
9. 1/2salt (according to taste)
10. 6 tbs. yogurt OR 3 tbs. lemon juice

Instructions:

• Mix all the spices together. Put in a blender and make a paste.
• Make 4-5 deep cuts on each side of the chicken pieces.
• This will help it cook better on the inside as well as giving it a better flavour.
• Coat the pieces with the paste and leave to marinate for a few hours preferably overnight in fridge.
• Then BBQ or bake in oven.
• If baking in the oven use an aluminum tray covered with foil for the first 20 minutes at 375o F.
• Uncover, turn the chicken over, and cover it up again.
• Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. By this time the chicken should be cooked.
• Increase the temp to 4500F , uncover and bake until the top is dry and the cuts that you made have ‘opened up’.
• Turn over and when it looks done – it´s done!
• Serve with salad and naan
