Ingredients

• 12 Chicken drumsticks and/or breast pieces (skin removed)
• 1 cup plain yogurt or 2 cups Buttermilk
• 1 1/2 tbsp. red chilli powder
• 1 tbsp. ginger powder or fresh grated ginger
• 2 tbsp. coriander powder
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder or 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp. cumin powder
• 1/2 tbsp. garam masala
• Meat tenderiser (optional)
• 2 tbsp. salt (use less if tenderiser contains salt)
  

Instruction

1. Prick and apply the tenderiser. Let it stand for an hour or so.
   12 Chicken drumsticks and/or breast pieces (skin removed)
2. Take a wide and deep bowl about 12 inches wide and deep enough to hold all the chicken pieces for marinade . Put in the bowl in the following order and mix well:
   1 cup plain yogurt plus one-cup water or 2 cups Buttermilk
   1 1/2 tbsp. red chilli powder
   1 tbsp. ginger powder or fresh grated ginger
   2 tbsp. coriander powder
   1 tbsp. garlic powder or 3 cloves garlic
   1 tbsp. cumin powder
   1/2 tbsp. garam masala
   Marinade the chicken covered with the paste/mixture.
   
3. Cover the bowl with a lid and let it stand for 6 hours. The more time it is marinated, the better it will absorb the spices and the tastier it will be. When you are ready to grill the chicken, apply melted butter to the the chicken pieces with a brush or spoon all over and you are ready to grill the chicken on the barbecue in the normal fashion.
