Ingredients

How to make it

  • (Preheat the oven to 450F.)
  • Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 slashes in each piece of chicken in all sides.
  • Place the yogurt in a large mixing bowl and add the garlic-ginger paste, the spices, the lemon juice and the red food color, blend together until well mixed.
  • Put the chicken into the mixture along with the oil and rub it well into the slashes, turning the chicken several times.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. (Do not marinate for longer than 2 days)
  • Place the chicken on a rack or in a roasting pan and roast, turning once for 25 to 30 minutes until the juices run clear when a piece is pierced near the bone with a knife.
  • Serve with yellow basmati rice or salad and sauté slices of onion on top.

    Great blend of flavors! I didn't use the food coloring so mine is a little pale looking. I didn't have fenugreek so I substituted yellow curry powder as that has fenugreek in it. I also used fresh minced ginger and garlic in this. I should have broiled the tops of my chicken as I probably had too much yogurt on top so it didn't get crisp-brown, but it still tasted great!
