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.
