Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 tbsp Coriander Seeds
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tbsp Fennel Seeds
  • 1 inch Cinnamon
  • 4 Cloves
  • 2 Dry Red Chili
  • 7-8 pieces Chicken Drumsticks
  • 1 cups (237 ml) Thick Yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp Crushed Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Crushed Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Indian Spice Blend
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp Chaat Masala (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast all spices in a pan over low heat until aromatic, being careful not to burn them.
  2. Transfer spices to a spice grinder and coarsely grind.
  3. In a ziploc bag, mix all marinade ingredients except oil. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
  4. Arrange drumsticks on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and broil until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even browning.
  5. Brush with remaining marinade to keep moist and flavorful.
  6. Sprinkle with lemon juice and chaat masala. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • To prevent burning, use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken (it should reach 165°F).
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
