Chicken Tandoori Recipe!

📝 Ingredients (for 4 servings)

For Marinade:

500g chicken (bone-in pieces, preferably leg & thigh)

½ cup plain yogurt (thick, strained is best)

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

2 tbsp vegetable oil or mustard oil

1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 ½ tsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

½ tsp black pepper

1 tsp kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves, optional but authentic)

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

For Garnish:

Fresh coriander leaves

Onion rings & lemon wedges

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Prepare Chicken

Wash and pat dry chicken pieces.

Make 2–3 deep slits on each piece so the marinade penetrates.

2. First Marinade (Optional but Recommended)

Rub chicken with 1 tbsp lemon juice, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp chili powder.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

3. Second Marinade

Mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, oil, and all remaining spices.

Coat chicken thoroughly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight for best flavor).

4. Cooking Options

Oven: Preheat to 220°C (425°F). Place chicken on a rack over a baking tray. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turn once, and brush with oil/butter. Cook another 15 minutes until slightly charred.

Grill/BBQ: Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through, basting with oil/butter.

Stovetop (if no oven): Use a heavy grill pan or tawa. Cook on medium heat, turning often, until fully done and lightly charred.

5. Serving

Garnish with onion rings, lemon wedges, and fresh coriander.

Serve hot with naan, roti, or salad.

🔥 Tips for Authentic Flavor:

Use mustard oil for a smoky kick.

A pinch of red food color gives that restaurant-style bright red look (optional).

For a smoky touch without a tandoor, you can use the “charcoal dhungar method”: place hot charcoal in a small bowl inside the cooked chicken dish, pour ghee on it, cover immediately for 2 minutes.

🍗 Chicken Kosha Recipe (Bengali Style)

🕐 Prep Time: 15 mins

🧑‍🍳 Cook Time: 45–60 mins
🍽️ Serves: 4

🧂 Ingredients:

For Marination:

500g chicken (bone-in, curry cut)

½ cup plain yogurt (dahi)

1 tbsp mustard oil

1½ tsp ginger paste

1½ tsp garlic paste

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp red chili powder

Salt to taste

For Cooking:

2 large onions, thinly sliced

2 medium potatoes (optional), halved and lightly fried

2–3 green chilies (slit)

2 tbsp mustard oil (you can mix with white oil if needed)

1 tsp sugar (for color)

Whole spices:

2 green cardamoms

1 black cardamom

1 bay leaf

3–4 cloves

1 inch cinnamon stick

1 tsp cumin powder

1½ tsp coriander powder

1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to heat)

½ tsp garam masala powder

Salt to taste

Warm water (as needed)

🔪 Instructions:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

1. In a bowl, mix chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and mustard oil.

2. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight preferred for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Fry Potatoes (Optional but Authentic)

1. Heat oil in a kadai or heavy-bottomed pan.

2. Lightly fry the potato halves with salt and turmeric till golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Start the Kosha (Slow Cooking)

1. In the same oil, add sugar and let it caramelize slightly — it gives a deep brown color.

2. Add whole spices and sauté for a few seconds.

3. Add sliced onions and sauté on medium heat till golden brown (takes about 10-12 mins).

4. Add marinated chicken and fry on medium-high heat — this is the kosha step. Stir constantly for 15–20 minutes until oil separates.

5. Add green chilies, cumin, coriander, and more red chili powder if needed. Stir well.

Step 4: Simmer and Finish

1. Add fried potatoes and about ½ to 1 cup warm water (based on how thick you want it).

2. Cover and cook on low-medium flame for another 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. When chicken is tender and oil separates on top, sprinkle garam masala and mix.

4. Finish with a drizzle of mustard oil for aroma. Let it rest for 5 mins before serving.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed with Luchi (puffed fried bread), Paratha, or Plain Basmati Rice.

Serve with onion salad and a wedge of lime.
