This is a fragrant dish that can be served any night of the week. Please note there is marinating time required so plan ahead. If you don't have ginger paste you can use fresh ginger. However, I find the paste very versatile. You can find it in any Indian shop. Ingredients:
3 lbs chicken, cut up or 3 lbs chicken pieces |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 teaspoon ginger paste |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup plain yogurt |

1 teaspoon coriander |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Put onion, garlic and ginger in food processor and blend.
2. add yogurt, lemon juice and spices.
3. pulse lightly.
4. make diagonal cuts across each large piece of chicken.
