Skin and clean the chicken.

Hang the yogurt in a muslin cloth for 15-20 minutes to take off extra water.

Mix in red chilli powder, salt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala powder and mustard oil.

Apply this marinade to the chicken pieces and chill in a freezer for 3 to 4 hours.

Put the chicken onto a skewer and stir fry in a moderately hot tandoor or a preheated oven (200 degrees celsius) for 10-12 minutes or until almost done.

Baste it with grease and stir fry for another 2 minutes.

Take off and keep aside.

Heat up grease in a pan.

Mix in whole garam masala.

Let it crackle.

Then mix in ginger-garlic paste and cut green chillies.

Stir fry for 2 minutes.

Mix in tomato puree, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt and one cup of water.

Bring to a boil.

Lower heat up and simmer (boil slowly at low temperature) for 10 minutes.

Mix in sugar or honey and powdered kasoori methi.

Mix in cooked tandoori chicken pieces.
