Ingredients:

• 3 lbs of chicken, cut into pieces

• 1 tablespoon of garlic paste
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon of paprika

Marination:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori masala, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, garam masala, and vegetable oil.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them well. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
