NOTE: Minimum marination time 2hrs(including both marination). Overnight marination/4-6hrs will give the best result. You can keep the marinated chicken overnight in the fridge/ or marinate the chicken in the morning if you want to cook tandoori for the evening.

Cooking:

For people who have a tandoor at home can add the chicken piece in grill and cook the same.
For people who don’t have a tandoor at home follow the below step.
- Cover the stove near the burner with foil paper to avoid getting the stove very dirty.
- Put the Grill stand on the stove and put the gas flame ON.
- Add 3-4 pieces and cook in low-medium flame to avoid burning.

Tips: After all the pieces have been cooked, if coal is available then keep the burning coil in a small bowl in between the chicken pieces and add 1 spoon of ghee and cover and keep it for 15min for more smoky flavor.
