Tandoori Chicken(Grilled)

Tandoori.............I was simply amazed when i read the actual meaning of tandoori and the story behind it which you could find in Wikipedia...the clay oven used typically for this is very well explained with its tools in spices of India website....i should say my chicken is just grilled tandoori and not the original one........cooked inside the clay oven!!!

Hmmm...get ready with the following stuffs..we will try grilled tandoori today!!!!!

Curd 1 cup
Chili powder 3 tsp
Coriander powder 4 tsp
Cumin powder 2 tsp
Fennel powder 1 tsp
Pepper corn powder (freshly grounded) 2 tsp
Pepper powder 1 tsp
Ginger garlic paste 1 tsp(it would be better if it is freshly grinded)
Food color 1 tsp (optional)
Lemon juice 5 tsp
Oil salt to taste

Method:
Tandoori masala
1)Mix all the ingredients in yogurt,add lime juice and mix it well..
2)Peel off the skin on the chicken
3)Draw deep lines with a knife around the chicken piece so that the masala we add gets in to the chicken when we marinate in the tandoori Masai.Add 3 tsp of oil to the tandoori masala.
4) Let the chicken marinate for around 1-2 hours.Pour 3 tsp of oil on the top of it..(by this time...the masala would have gone in).
5)preheat the oven,Place the chicken in the grill at 450f ,cook until it becomes soft and tender(around 25 minutes).Squeeze lemon juice on the top of it..Serve with onions.
