CHICKEN

6. After the chicken is done, add vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes

on very low heat. Sprinkle on Garam Masala and serve.

10.5 Tandoori Chicken

2-3 Servings

Quantity

Ingredient

6 pieces

Thawed chicken, skinned

2 tsp

Ground Coriander

2 tsp

Masala (Tandoori paste is available)

to taste

Red pepper powder

Dash

Garlic powder

to taste

Salt

1 tsp

Ground jeera

Soy sauce (or yogurt)

(needed only if tandoori masala is used)

Method

1. If you are using the ready made tandoori paste then life is a lot easier.

Replace all occurences of masala and soy sauce(or yogurt) with the

tandoori paste.

2. Take the chicken and make *deep* cuts in it (so that the Masalas seeps

in quickly).

3. If you are using soy sauce as the base, put some on the chicken pieces

and let it seep in the cuts.

4. Rub in the Masalas as a mixture or one at a time. The idea is to let

the Masalas seep in the cuts with the soy sauce. You can leave it for

little while to seep in.

5. If you are using yogurt, you'll get a more authentic taste since the

original TC is after all marinated in it. In this case, mix the Masalas

in the yogurt rst and then rub the stu into the chicken cuts as

before. The yogurt tends to leave a considerable amount of water

behind. DON'T THROW THIS AWAY. Let it evaporate in the oven
