Preparation

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a tandoor, preheat it as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Place the marinated chicken pieces on a baking tray or in a tandoor and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

While the chicken is cooking, brush it with oil occasionally to keep it moist.

Remove the chicken from the oven/tandoor and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with mint chutney, onion slices, and lemon wedges.
