A white plate topped with chicken and rice on a table.

Ingredients:400g chicken thighs

1 tsp chaat masala 


1st marinade

40g ginger garlic paste 

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste 

1 tsp red chilli powder 

½ tsp dried fenugreek powder  


2nd marinade  

80g Greek or hung yoghurt

½ tsp Garam Masala 

½ tsp toasted cumin powder 


Preparation: 

Oven temp: 200°C, 400°F, Gas mark 6.


1. Clean the chicken thighs and remove any extra fat. Cut the thighs in to small pieces.

2. Make the first marinade by mixing all of the listed ingredients in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. 

3. Leave to marinade for at least an hour. 

4. When ready, remove the chicken pieces and allow the excess juices to drain.  

5. Next mix the chicken pieces with the ingredients for the 2nd marinade and keep aside for at least 2-3 hours, overnight preferably. 

6. When ready to cook, skewer the chicken and cook in a very hot oven for about 20 minutes. Then remove the chicken skewers, baste with melted butter and oil and return to the oven to cook for a further five minutes or until tender. 

7. When the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and brush with some melted butter and chaat masala before serving. Enjoy with mint chutney (recipe on website). 


Variation: 

You can apply the same marination for making tandoori broccoli, peppers, cauliflower and onion as well. They taste delicious!
