Tandori Marinade with Yogurt for Chicken

Source of Recipe

The Grilling Book


List of Ingredients

1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 teaspoon salt


Recipe

Combine all ingredients and taste for seasoning, keeping in mind that the cayenne flavor will get stronger after an hour or so. Makes about 1/2 cup, enough for 1 chicken, 3-4 pounds chicken parts, or 3-4 pounds boneless lamb. Note: for garam masala, a typical mixture is 2 parts each black pepper, cardamom seeds, coriander seeds and cumin, and 1 part each cinnamon and cloves. Freshly ground and tightly sealed in a jar, it will keep for a few months, but it is best made frequently.
