Red Chilli Powder – 2 teaspoons |
Paprika(Capsicum Powder) – 2 teaspoons |
Ginger-Garlic Paste – 2 teaspoons |
Yoghurt – 2 Tablespoons |

Dried Fenugreek Leaves – 1 Tablespoon |

Instructions: |
1. Clean the chicken pieces. Make slits in the meat to make sure that the marinade gets in evenly. |
2. Add all the remaining ingredients to the meat. |
3. Mix well and keep aside for 1 hour. |
4. Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F. If your oven has a circulating air mode/fan mode, choose that. This will help make the meat crispier on the outside. |
