Ingredients

4 Chicken leg quarters
1 Lemon
1 cup Plain whole milk yogurt
1/3 cup Olive oil
2 tbsp Garlic paste
2 tbsp Ginger paste
1 tbsp Fenugreek
1 tbsp Chili powder
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Salt
2 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Garam masala

Instructions

For the marinade, in a mixing bowl add plain yogurt, garlic and ginger paste and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Next, mix in the dry spices which consist of cumin, coriander powder, garam masala, fenugreek, chili powder, salt and paprika.
Pull the skin off the chicken leg quarter to help absorb the marinade. Cut slits on the meat for maximum flavor. Marinate the chicken overnight, but if pressed for time, marinate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to 400 degrees and set it for direct heat.
Place the marinated tandoori chicken leg quarters on the grill and flip every 2 minutes for about 15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 175 degrees.
Let them rest for 10 minutes.
