Chicken tandoori                                                       
                                 

Ingredients:
Chicken ( leg pieces)  1 kilo
Thick dahi 1 cup
Tandoori masala 1 Tbsp
Red chilli powder 1+1/2 Tbsp
Ginger garlic paste 2 Tbsp
Kasuri methi 1 Tsp
Butter 1/2 cup
Chaat masala 1 Tsp
Salt as per taste

Procedure :
  1. In a large bowl take cleaned chicken leg pieces. 
  2. Prick the chicken pieces all over with help of fork or make slits using sharp knife this would help to marinate chicken properly from inside also.
  3. Now in the same bowl start adding all the ingredients to marinate chicken i.e thick curd,tandoori masala,red chilli powder,ginger garlic paste,kasuri methi,salt.
  4. Now refrigerate the marinated chicken for 2 hr or overnight.
  5. Before making tandoori just take out the marinated chicken from fridge and let it attain room temperature.
  6. Now at low flame heat a non stick pan and put 2 Tbsp butter let it melt then add marinated chicken after 15 min flip over the leg pieces and cook them properly from both sides. I had used double sided grill fry pan to make tandoori because of it the chicken was cooked in 15 min leaving behind lot of chicken juices so i kept the flame high and dried the chicken pieces as the main flavour is in the chicken juices so don't throw it. But in this pan the chicken became very juicy and tasty.
  7. When done put the chicken pieces on phulka stand or using pair of tongs hold the chicken and directly put them straight on high flame until they get  burnt a bit and thus we get smoky flavour same like restaurant.
  8. Now brush  hot chicken leg pieces with melted butter and sprinkle some chaat masala over it and serve hot with mint chutney.
