Tandoori Chicken

This is my third recipe for that red-dyed chicken in the restaurant. Garnish with thin-sliced onion and bell pepper, perhaps on a bed of thin-shredded cabbage.

Ingredients

5 lb	chicken legs or thighs, slashed deep
4 tbsp	garam masala
2 tbsp	Kashmiri chili powder
—	lemon juice
½ cup	full-fat yogurt or coconut cream
2	cloves garlic
1"	ginger sliced paper thin
—	red food coloring

Cut gashes in chicken, marinate in above for thirty minutes to a couple of hours. Roast under broiler or over grill until slightly blackened.

For garnish...

1 large	white onion, sliced in rings
1-2	green bell peppers, sliced in rings
—	salt
—	high heat oil to blacken onion and pepper slices slightly
—	lemon wedge per person

...or set aside to piece off from bones, in roughly 1" cubes and mix into tikka masala.
