Instructions

Peel the garlic cloves and deseed the chillies.
Bash them in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt.
Grate the ginger finely and add all the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Now add the chicken pieces and mix everything well.
Now keep this in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to roast, remove and let it come down to room temperature first.
Roast this in a gas tandoor or a preheated oven on 240° .
Place the chicken pieces on a parchment paper lined baking tray or in a gas tandoor.
Drizzle a generous amount of oil to cover them all.
Roast them for about 50 to 60 minutes until done.
Keep turning them in between once or twice for even roasting.
Sprinkle some garam massla on top and finely chopped coriander leaves along with a little drizzle of oil.
Shake it a little sideways and that looks perfectly done and charred.
Before serving, place a piece of hot coal in the centre and pour some oil on it. Cover and give the smoky effect to the chicken for that authentic touch.
Serve hot with rice and salad.
