Indian food is one of my favorite foods. It's a weakness. Many recipes are so time consuming, but here is a quickie for those of you who like to grill!
Tandoori Chicken
Ingredients:
8 chicken drumsticks
1 tbsp garlic paste
1 tbsp ginger paste
3-4 tbsp yogurt
1 tsp kasuri methi (available in Indian stores under that name)
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp Dhania (coriander seed) powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp orange food colour (powder)
1 tbsp oil
salt to taste
Method:
Slit the chicken drumsticks with a knife and rub salt and lime juice on them.
Take a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients and mix them well to form a marinade.
Marinate the chicken in it for 2 hours (you can marinate it and keep it in the fridge and grill it for next day's dinner).
Place the chicken under a hot grill and grill till the chicken is cooked and slightly smoky.
Note: I get all of my Indian food spices in Indian stores. The spices in regular grocery stores like Safeway just don't taste as good, but can be used.
I can put up some more "involved" indian food recipes if anyone is interested. A lot of them take some time and practice to perfect, but they're yummy!!
