TANDOORI CHICKEN AT HOME

One of the fav dish for many Non-veg lovers.......
I tried it last sunday..... and i cooked it on a charcoal grill / boggula kumpati.
It tasted wonderful.......



INGREDIENTS:

chicken boneless/ with bones - 250 grams

Everest Tandoori chicken masala powder - 1 tbspn

curd - 1 tbspn

salt - to taste

red chilli powder - 1 tbspn

turmeric - a pinch.

oil - just to apply.(optional)



PROCEDURE:

1. Cut, clean and wash chicken well... add some turmeric while washing it. It droves the germs away , if any.

2. Now , take a bowl and add, curd, red chilli powder, salt, tandoori masala powder , food colour(optional) 



3.Mix all the ingredients well.


4. Now add the chicken pieces to this marinade and let it rest for minimun 30 mins. the longer you marinate, the better the taste.


5. Now, You can take a pan, add oil and shallow fry the pieces.

                             OR

   YOU can grill it in your oven.

                            OR
  YOU can use a traditional charcoal grill.

6. I used my charcoal grill as its the best way to have your tandoori chicken.


7. Just lit the coal, and put a grill on it.

8.Now put the marinated chicken pieces on the grill and fry for 2 -3 mins .



9. Fry well on both side. If you want, apply oil on the pieces.
But its really not required....



10. Take out from it and serve hot....



11.I served it with veg pulav..... and njoyed it ..



Even though the name is Tandoori chicken, we are not doing it in the oven or in the actual way. Kumpati is a traditional andhra stove. So cooking on it makes it an andhra dish too.... So
