Young Gun , here is one that wa sposted some time back:
Tandoori Chicken[p]Here is a great Tandoori chicken recipe I did over the weekend.[p]Garam Masala
2 Tbs black peppercorns
2 Tbs whole coriander seeds
1.5 Tbs caraway seeds
0.5 Tbs cloves
20 or so whole cardamoms
0.5 Tbs cinnamon
Tandoori Masala
1 Tbs cumin seeds
1 Tbs coriander seeds
1 Tbs red (cayenne) pepper or whole dried peppers
few drops of red food coloring (optional)
The marinade:
1 Tbs lime juice
salt to taste
1 small onion
1 Tbs Tandoori Masala
2 tsp Garam Masala
1 1-inch piece of fresh ginger
1.25 cups plain yogurt
cilantro and lime wedges
2.5 lbs skinned bone in or boneless chicken pieces in any combination[p]Procedure
1 First I made Garam Masala from Indian Cooking by Savriti Chowdery). This is a mixture that is used in a lot of Indian cooking. You can buy it pre-made but fresh ground masalas from whole seeds are just killer. Only make what you will use in a few weeks or so. There are many variations of this particular mixture - this is just one I like.
Garam Masala
1 Grind ingredients together in a coffee grinder (or mortar and pestle) until it is a powder.
Tandoori Masala
1 Grind ingredients together. Add a few drops of red food coloring (optional).
The marinade:
1 Mix all ingrients in a food processor:
The chicken:
1 Make some deep slices in the chicken pieces.
2 Marinate the chicken for 6 hours or overnight (I do it overnight).
3 The book says to roast it at 400 for 25-30 minutes until tender and browned. I cooked it in my K at 350-375 direct on the grill for about 10-15 minutes each side, turning once.
4 Use cilantro and lime wedges as a garnish.
5 The results were just incredible - juicy, tender, and very flavorful. This weekend I made it for an Indian friend who said it was the best Tandoori chicken he has ever had anywhere![p]Recipe Source
