About 20 chicken legs – prepared as photographed above
1 large bunch coriander
Juice of two limes
3 green chilli peppers – roughly chopped
2 tablespoons garlic/ginger paste
1 tablespoon garam masala
7 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
Salt to taste
Method
Place all of the ingredients up to the Greek yoghurt in a blender and blend until you have a paste. You may need to add a little water to do this.
Pour the paste into a large bowl and add the yoghurt. Whisk it until you have a smooth marinade. If you like, you can remove some of the marinade to use as a dip. I often double the marinade recipe so that there is plenty of dip.
Season the marinade with salt and black pepper to taste and rub it into the chicken pieces, both under and on top of the skin. Leave for 2 to 48 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to its highest setting. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast on high until browned and cooked through. This should take about an hour but watch it.
Serve as a meal or place on serving trays as party food. The drumsticks are really easy to pick up and eat without much mess.
