Recipe for Modern Chicken Tandoori Dish

• As it is clear from the name Tandoori Chicken
  that the dish has something to do with a tandoor.
  A tandoor is basically a traditional Indian oven
  made of wood or charcoal. It consists of fired
  clay to which the chicken is directly exposed.
  This is the main thing which adds flavor and an
  exceptional taste. The approximate temperature to
  which the oven can heat up is 450-degree
  centigrade (900 degrees Fahrenheit).

STEP 1 Prepare the Oven OR Tandoor

• So, the first step you need to do is, prepare the
  oven (Tandoor). Turn on the flame to medium-high
  and leave it on for at least 20-25 minutes for it
  to get hot appropriately.

STEP 2 Marinate the Chicken

• After you have turned on the oven (tandoor), the
  next step is to marinate the chicken. A 1 kg
  chicken is enough to feed 2-3 people. If you are
  new to this, make sure you take not more than 1
  kg chicken. Wash and clean the chicken by taking
  out excessive fats from it. If the chicken is wet
  make sure you pat dry it with a towel. Now, with
  the help of a fork and a knife, make holes and
  slight cuts in the chicken so that the spices
  (masala) penetrates deep down. After the chicken
  is prepared, go ahead and marinate the chicken
  now!!!

STEP 3 Make the Mixture

• The chicken is marinated in two steps to add full
  flavor and richness. In a separate bowl, make a
  mixture which is used to marinate the chicken.
  Add a little bit of lemon juice, one tablespoon
  Kashmiri red chili powder and one and a half
  tablespoon of salt and mix it well. Put this
  mixture on the chicken spreading it thoroughly
  all over it. After applying the mixture to the
  chicken, cover it and let it set for some time
  (approximately half an hour) so that the mixture
  penetrates into the chicken.

STEP 4 Prepare the Second Mixture

• On the other hand, we need to now prepare the
  second mixture. For this, you will need some
  yogurt. Add the yogurt in a bowl, and add the
  spices in this order. First, add the cumin powder
  and the coriander powder and mix it well to avoid
  the formation of small balls in the mixture.
  After this, add the remaining red chili powder,
  garam masala powder, some lemon juice and
  ginger-garlic paste. Next, you need to add is
  pepper, Kasuri methi powder, and red food color
  and mix them well.

  and leave it for at least 6 hours in the
  refrigerator. The oven on the other hand (which
  you prepared) must be hot by now. Before putting
  the chicken in the oven add three tablespoons of
  mustard oil. Put the chicken on a cooking rack
  and place it in the tandoor (Dont forget to flip
  the chicken half way through). After 10-15
  minutes your delicious chicken will be ready.
