Baked Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori chicken is one famous Indian cuisine over here in Malaysia too, other than India. The restaurants usually will pair this grilled meat with naan bread. I seldom eat tandoori chicken which serve at the restaurant. I always think the way they grilled it is too dry and the meat is not tender enough. So. decided to attempt my own version at home by baking it. Don't you think they look juicier & tender ?

So, here's what I did.
Ingredients :
1 kg  chicken, cut into bite size
1 cup  yogurt
4 tbsp   garam masala
1 tbsp   cayenne pepper powder
1 tbsp   chili powder
1 tspn  turmeric powder
salt to taste
1-1/2 tbsp  minced garlic (2 tspn garlic powder)
1 tbsp minced ginger (2 tspn  ginger powder)
* 1 lemon juice (optional)

 Method :
(1) combine all spices and mix well.
(2) now, marinade chicken meat with all the ingredient for 30 mins.
(3) then bake at preheated oven 190'C for about 45-60 mins (depends on sizes).

You can definitely serve this to all your guests during this coming festive season with just a quick touch. Hassle free and delicious too....even without the lemon juice.
