TeamAIDAsha

Running a marathon is one of the most exhilarating experiences that one can endure. Asha and AID have trained many first-time runners to complete marathons and in the process have raised funds for education and sustainable development projects in India.

The TeamAIDAsha Marathon program trains runners with beginner to veteran level of experience to complete their marathon while raising funds for educational, social and economic development in India. The training program starts in spring every year and targets the fall marathon and half marathons (Chicago, Lowell Bay state). With over 100 runners and over $300,000 raised over the past seven years, the marathon program is our largest fundraiser event for AID and Asha for Education, Boston/MIT chapters

Tagdi Kabab - Sanjeev Kapoor Istyle


Ingredients


Chicken drumsticks (skinless chicken legs without) 8
Lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Ginger 1 inch piece
Garlic 6 cloves
Green chillies 4-6
Skimmed milk yogurt 1 cup
Gram flour (besan) 2 tablespoons
Turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon
Garam masala powder 1 teaspoon
Red chilli powder 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Chaat masala 2 teaspoons
Lemon and onion (cut) for garnishing
Oil 3 tablespoons

Method

1. Clean and trim excess fat and skin from the drumsticks. Dry them with a clean and absorbent kitchen towel. Make three to four long deep incisions. Apply lemon juice and keep aside.

2. Peel ginger and garlic, wash and grind them to a paste.

3. Wash green chillies, remove stem and chop finely.

4. Roast gram flour in a pan till it gets a little color. Can be done even in a microwave bowl on Microwave LOW (50%) for five minutes stirring twice in between. Cool and mix with yogurt, ginger and garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, red chilli powder, salt and chopped green chillies. Too much yogurt will drain off all the masala from the chicken.

5. Marinate chicken drumsticks in above mixture and refrigerate for one to two hours.

6. Preheat oven to 425F.

6. Place marinated chicken drumsticks on a flat dish and roast for five minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce oven temperature to Convection 350F and further cook for ten or fifteen minutes or till little cooked. Turn drumsticks couple of times to ensure even cooking and color.

7. Roast them on a pan for the tandoor taste. If they are kept in the microwave for too long it taste dry and the tandoor flavor is not obtained.

8.Serve hot sprinkled with chaat masala, lemon wedges and onion.
