Juicy Tandoori Chicken

Ingredients
– 2 heaped tbsp yoghurt
– 2 tbsp tandoori paste
– 1 tsp salt
– ½ tsp turmeric
– 1 tsp coriander powder
– 1 tsp cumin powder
– ½ tsp black pepper
– 2 tsp Mama Sood’s Chilli Chutney
– 1 kg chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks work best)
Method
-
In a large bowl, mix together the yoghurt, tandoori paste, salt, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin, black pepper, and chilli chutney until smooth.
-
Add the chicken pieces and coat well so the marinade covers every bit.
-
Cover and marinate for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavour.
-
Cook on the barbecue for a smoky char, or in the air fryer until the chicken is cooked through and slightly crisp on the edges.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the bold, spiced flavours.
