Recipe's preparation

    Preparing the Chicken
  1. Pierce the chicken all over with a skewer so the marinade can penetrate the flesh.

    Rub lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt all over the skin and inside the cavity of the chicken.

  2. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to a clean and dry tm bowl and chop for 3 seconds / speed 7.

    Add the Ghee to the tm bowl and cook 5 mins/ Varoma / speed 1.

    Add the almonds, chilli powder, coriander roots, tumeric and garam masala and cook 1 min / varoma / speed 1.

    Blitz all ingredients 1 minute / speed 9. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and Blitz a further 20 seconds /speed five.

  3. Cover the chicken in the marinade and allow to marinate for 6 hours or overnight.

     

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and wrap in moist banana leaves or aluminium foil. Place in roasting tin and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap the leaves/foil and roast for another 10 minutes or until well browned. Check the leg juices before carving and allow to rest for 10 mins.

Tip

Serve with rice and lentils for an indian themed dinner.

You can get away with marinading it for a shorter period of time but the flavours wont be as intense.

    tmrc_emoticons.) Hi Rraschke,

    The corriander roots are utilised in step 3.

    You're right about the tumeric though 1/4 teaspoon is plenty. tmrc_emoticons.)

    I have added the tumeric to the recipe.
