Ingredients

 

1 (3-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

1 cup plain yogurt

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon ginger paste

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to coat.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Serve the chicken hot with naan bread and raita.

Tips

 

If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through.

You can also use a broiler to cook the chicken.

To make the chicken extra crispy, you can broil it for a few minutes after grilling.

Serve the chicken with your favorite Indian accompaniments, such as naan bread, raita, and chutney.
