A good party dish. The chicken is marinated the night before so all you have to do on the day is to cook it in a very hot oven and serve with wedges of lemon and a green salad.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 4
4 1/2lb chicken,cut into 8 pieces
juice of 1 large lemon
2/3 cup natural low-fat yogurt
3 garlic cloves,crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground tumeric
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp grated fresh root ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
a few drops red food colouring (optional)
1. Skin the chicken pieces and cut two slits in each piece
2. Arrange in a single layer in a glass or ceramic dish and pour over the lemon juice
3. Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour the sauce over the chicken pieces, turning them to coat throughly. Cover with clear film and chill overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange in a single layer on a shallow baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, turn over, and cook for a further 15 minutes or until tender.
