- 4 tbsp thick yoghurt
- 2 tsp ginger garlic paste

While grilling the chicken, I turned on both the top and bottom flame.
You can reduce the amount of red chilli powder if you don’t want it very spicy.
You can freeze the chicken with the marinade (raw). Then when to want to cook it, thaw it and grill.
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 180 degree C.
- Clean the chicken pieces and make slits on it.
- Marinate the chicken with 1 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice and salt. Make sure you apply the marinade in the slits of the chicken too. Keep for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together all the remaining ingredients.
- Apply this all over the chicken.
- Grill the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes, till the chicken is well cooked and charred on the outside. You can apply more ghee on the chicken while its getting cooked.
