- Chicken – Remove skin from chicken pieces, make a few small incisions in the chicken
- Limes – Juice the limes
- Shallots – finely dice 1mm
- Ginger – finely grate
- Garlic – finely grate
For the chicken:
- Mix the smoked paprika, juice of the two limes and the diced shallot together
- Mix the chicken with the paprika mix until it is evenly covered
- Cover and place in the fridge
For the marinade:
- Mix together the yoghurt, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder, tomato puree, madras powder, cumin and coriander
- Mix into the chicken, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours, over night is best if possible.
Cooking:
- Preheat the oven to 200°c
- Heat up the char grill on high
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake a little of the marinade off
- Brush with a little oil and place on the hot char grill
- Colour on both sides (do not try and move the chicken until it naturally releases from the char grill or you will loose all of the nice char lines)
- Once you have char lines on both sides place the chicken on a roasting tray and place it in the oven
- Cooking until the chicken is fully cooked through
- Remove and serve
