I am damn sure you will love to eat this dish which i made.. Yah!! Its a delicious South Indian special Grilled Tandoori chicken. I used my home garden backyard to cook.

The spicy marinade which coats the chicken gives it a distinct flavour, but the yoghurt balances it out to prevent it from being overly spicy.

It also gives off a smoky flavour which is due to the chicken being traditionally cooked in a tandoor but i made it in a small grill round jali.

This makes the dish unique to other Desi chicken recipes.

Tandoori chicken is one of the most commercially available meat dishes throughout South Asia.

For cooking, I have choosen a unique way to cook the chicken.

1. Before cooking the chicken, take charcoal and heat it

2. Once it is hot enough, transfer the charcoal into a mud pot.

3. Place the grill round jali to the mud pot.

4. Then place the marinated chicken into it ... Cook it well.

5. After 15mins flip the chicken pieces and spread the ghee into it.

6. And cook this side about 15 mins.. It takes to cook about 30 to 40 mins.

7. Now the Grilled Tandoori Chicken is ready to be serve.
