This Amritsari tandoori chicken is made with two kinds of marination techniques. First, it is marinated in a mixture of ginger paste, lemon juice and salt, and kept for 20 minutes. Then again, it is marinated the second time with hung curd, turmeric, mustard oil, coriander powder and fresh coriander leaves.
Then, all you have to do is leave the chicken in tandoor or oven for around 15 minutes to cook. The Amritsari flavours and smokiness of tandoor makes this chicken dish incredibly delicious.
