Instructions

1

Prepare Spices

3 Minuten

Weigh all dry spices – Kashmiri chilli powder, garam masala, cumin and turmeric – into a bowl and mix well.

2

Mix Marinade

3 Minuten

Place yoghurt in a large bowl and stir in the spice mix, garlic ginger paste, lemon juice and oil. Mix everything into a smooth marinade.

3

Seasoning

2 Minuten

Season marinade with salt. It should be well-spiced and slightly tangy. Check consistency – it should cling well to the meat.

4

Marinating

4–12 Stunden

Score meat pieces and generously coat with tandoori marinade. Cover and rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours, then grill over high heat.

Pro Tip

Add a pinch of red food colouring for the classic tandoori colour. Kashmiri chilli gives colour without extreme heat.
