Tandoori Chicken

1: Marinate chicken thighs with tandoori masala, ghee, and the prepared paste of garlic, ginger, onion, yogurt, mint leaves, coriander leaves, red chilies, and lemon juice. Massage well and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours.

2: Preheat the oven to 470°F. Place marinated chicken in a baking dish or over a wire rack and bake for 20 minutes.

3: Switch to broil mode and broil for another 5-7 minutes until the skin is charred on both sides.

4: For pan cooking, heat a pan with 2-3 tablespoons of ghee/oil, and cook the marinated chicken pieces on medium heat until fully cooked on both sides.

5: (Optional) For smoking flavor, place a small foil in the middle of the serving dish, add a burned charcoal piece over it, and pour some ghee on top. Cover the dish and allow it to smoke for 5-10 minutes.

6: Serve the tandoori chicken with paratha or your choice of salad.
