Preparing Your Tandoori Masterpiece

Marination: The Crucial First Step

To achieve truly flavorful and juicy tandoori chicken, marination is essential. EVEREST Tandoori Chicken mix provides all the spices you need for an authentic marinade. Here is a simple yet effective marination process:

1. Ingredients for Marination:
2. 1 kg chicken (cut into pieces)
3. 50g EVEREST Tandoori Chicken mix
4. 200g plain yogurt
5. 1 tablespoon lemon juice

6. 2 tablespoons oil (preferably mustard oil)

7. Steps:

8. Prepare the Chicken: Make incisions on the chicken pieces to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply.
9. Mix Marinade: In a bowl, combine EVEREST Tandoori Chicken mix with yogurt, lemon juice, and oil. Stir well to form a smooth paste.
10. Marinate: Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the marinade. Ensure every nook and cranny is covered.
11. Rest: Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the best flavor infusion.

Methods of Cooking

Traditional Tandoor

Cooking in a tandoor is the traditional and most authentic method to prepare tandoori chicken. The high heat of the clay oven sears the outside, locking in juices and flavor.

Oven and Grill

For those without access to a tandoor, a conventional oven or grill works splendidly. Preheat your oven or grill to about 250°C (480°F) and cook the marinated chicken for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F).

Pan and Broil

Another viable method is pan-searing the marinated chicken and then finishing it under a broiler. This technique mimics the high heat of a tandoor and ensures a crispy, charred exterior with a juicy interior.
