Marinade
- Preparing the Marinade:In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, ginger and garlic paste, lemon juice, tandoori masala, turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. This will form the flavorful marinade that will infuse the chicken with its irresistible taste.
- Marinating the Chicken:Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the chicken to soak up all the delicious flavors.
Cooking Tandoori Chicken
- Skewering the Chicken:Before grilling, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. This not only helps with even cooking but also adds to the traditional tandoori presentation.
- Grilling:Now, it's time to fire up the grill. Preheat it to a medium-high temperature and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken skewers until they are cooked through and have a beautiful charred exterior. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
