Vijs Tamarind and Yogurt Grilled Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the yogurt, tamarind, garlic, canola, salt, cayenne and garam massala.
  • Add the chicken, mix and make sure the chicken is covered with the marinade.
  • Cover and marinate for a minimum of 4 hours but 8 is prefered.
  • Preheat a grill, barbeque or stovetop cast-iron grill to high heat(if doing this indoors make sure you switch on your exhaust fan,there will be smoke whilst grilling on the high heat. (doing this in a pan does not work for me, it makes a mess and does not brown so well, grill or barbeque gave me a better result).
  • Grill the thighs 2 minutes on each side, then again 2 minutes on each side.
  • Check or the thighs are done, if still pink continue grilling.
  • Serve with the lemon wedges.
  • Note: Tamarind paste should be as thick as jam, if thinner use up to 1 tablespoon more.

    Now let's see, where did they put that Asian market? Not to worry, I'll just get my daughter to bring a few seeds home from the tamarind tree at school and make some past. Not even kidding here. I've got a tree growing but no seeds yet. Great post. RJ
