This spicy yoghurt chicken dish was the first time I
have based a marinade on yoghurt. And I
used my
very own home made yoghurt too!
For the marinade:
Yoghurt
Tsp chilli powder
Tblsp cumin
Tblsp ground coriander seeds
2 tsp turmeric
Salt
Once I had ground the cumin and coriander with the salt
I then added the other ingredients to the bowl and put in the chicken thighs
(which I cut into thirds).
I let it sit in the marinade for over 30 minutes and
then tonged the chicken out and coated it in seasoned breadcrumbs.
I then baked the chicken in a moderate oven until the
juices ran clear when pricked with a knife.
The spice in the marinade did give a good feeling of
heat to the chicken. I would do this
again.
You always come up with such interesting marinades! I've heard of buttermilk marinades for chicken, and I imagine the yogurt version would be healthier. :)
ReplyDeleteI love chicken marinated in yogurt. I think it makes it more tender too.
ReplyDeleteI love yogurt-based marinades for chicken. This sounds similar to raita spices. Yummmmmm
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I think this is done in some Indian cooking, and your ingredients fit right in with Indian cuisine!
