How to make a tandoori chicken :
Tandoori chicken is a starter recipe, to make tandoori chicken first marinate chicken with spices and curd. Then grill the chicken on the stove. With less oil, you can prepare this tasty tandoori chicken at home and it can be your kids favorite if you reduce the spices.
Marination: Marination plays a crucial role in this recipe. The taste of the tandoori chicken depends on this marination process and time of the marination. It should be at least 20 mins because in this marination all the spices mix with chicken and chicken becomes tender and absorbs the flavors. Add garam masala if you don’t have tandoori masala.
Grilling: After Marination grill the chicken on the stove or outdoor grills. The grill should be hot to marinate the chicken and then arrange the chicken pieces side by side without overlapping. One more thing is chicken pieces need to be flip while grilling means if they are done on one side we need to flip to the other side so that they can cook evenly. Don’t cook or else the chicken will burn and it gets to soar in taste.
