INGREDIENTS

4 Bone-In Chicken Breasts
1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
Juice of 1 Lime
1 tbsp, Vijaya's Garam Masala (See Video)
4 Cloves Garlic, finely grated
1 inch of Ginger, finely grated
1/2 tbsp, Dry Ginger Powder
1/2 tbsp, Ground Red Chili
1/2 tsp, Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tbsp, Crushed Methi (Fenugreek) Leaves
1 tbsp, Salt
1/4 tsp, Powdered Red Food Colour (Optional)

To create marinade, add all ingredients except Chicken in a bowl, and stir until combined.

Make deep slashes in chicken and pour marinade over top. Gently massage the chicken and ensure all sides are coated.

Marinade in the fridge for up to 24 hours for the flavours to deepen.

Pop Chicken onto the grill, skin side down. Cook for approximately 15 minutes per side, or until juices run clear.

Alternatively, place in an oven that has been pre-heated to 450 degrees, and cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch and juices run clear.

Serve with Sweet White Onions, Lime, and hot Naan/Rice.
