Ingredients
- 500 Gram Chicken Piece
- 1 Cup Plain Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 Tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 Teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 2 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- Salt To Taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Mint chutney, for serving
- Onion rings, for serving
Cooking Instructions
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, chaat masala, oil, and salt. Mix well to make a smooth marinade.
Make deep incisions on the chicken drumsticks using a knife. This will allow the marinade to penetrate the meat and enhance the flavours.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. This will allow the flavours to develop and tenderize the chicken.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Remove the marinated chicken drumsticks from the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature.
If using a grill, place the drumsticks directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and charred on the outside.
If using an oven, place the marinated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping them once halfway through.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the Chicken Kalmi Tikka with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with lemon wedges, onion rings, and mint chutney on the side.
