THE LADY AGA’S TANDOORI CHICKEN RECIPE

This is an easy life dish! Trust me served with fresh minted Greek yogurt its a blast!

There are several ways of presenting this dish whether you are cooking for many or just a dinner for two. I will show you both methods.

When all my  friends and family are over this is one of main dishes  I prepare along side all the dishes in The Lady Aga’s outdoor dining collection. its quick, easy, looks good and tastes good!

I always use chicken thighs and leg portions as they are cheaper and tender when cooked.

Preparation time 10 minutes.

Marinate time 20 minutes to 12 hours your choice but can be prepared the day before for ease.

Healthy option remove skin from chicken and use low fat Greek yogurt.

All THE INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS GREAT DISH

Chicken thighs, leg portions your choice and as many as you think you will need.

Tub of  Greek yogurt, purely enough to coat the chicken.

100 mls of Greek yogurt  for side dressing.

Juice of half a lemon.

1 dsp of olive oil.

pinch of salt (optional)

2 tbsp tandoori curry powder more or less depending on amount of chicken, but it does need to look a good deep red colour.

A good handful of finely chopped fresh mint.

1 dsp of mint sauce (from a jar)

HOW TO PREPARE

Pour the yogurt in a large bowl (leave enough for the mint dressing)

Add the tandoori powder, olive oil, lemon juice and salt.

Mix all the ingredients together. Add the chicken and make sure each piece is thoroughly with the mixture.

Cover and place in the fridge. Leave to marinate as long as you like.

COOKING OPTIONS

Place in a frying and fry till browned and cooked through.

Place on a baking tray and cook in the hot oven till properly cooked through. Watch carefully so as not to burn or dry out, may need to pop in low temperature oven for part of the cooking time.

For a BBQ place the chicken on foil over a medium flame and watch carefully!

For the yogurt dressing mix in the chopped mint and mint sauce serve with chicken and add a little chopped fresh mint over the chicken and dressing for decoration!
