No need to hop on an airplane and travel all the way to Mumbai. You can get the real thing right here.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Skinned chicken breasts and thighs
• lemon juice
• tandoori paste
• natural/plain yogurt
• garlic
• fresh coriander or cilantro

1. 
    
   Pokey McPokerson

   Prepare your chicken by poking holes in the chicken on both sides. You can use a fork, but I prefer a Mini Meat Tenderizer. This recipe will cover 4-5 chicken thighs and 2-3 chicken breasts.
   
   Place it in a Freezer storage bag and put back in the refrigerator.

2. 
    
   I'm squeezing your head...squeezing your...garlic

   Press 2 cloves of garlic into a bowl.

3. 
    
   Mmmmm.....lemon garlic.

   Add 2 tbsp lemon juice

4. 
    

   Add 6 tbsp tandoori paste

5. 
    
   YO......GERT!!!!

   Add 6 tbsp natural (Plain) yogurt.

6. 
    
   Well doesn't that look fancy! Don't eat it....

   Add 4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander. You can also use cilantro.

7. 
    
   That ain't tomato soup

   Add a very light dusting of salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

8. 
    

   Pour the paste into the bag of tenderized chicken. Make sure that you massage the paste around so that it coats all of the chicken.

9. Seal the bag getting all the air out and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours to allow the tandoori spices to absorb into the chicken.

10. 
     
    Uncooked chicken...

    After the chicken has had time to marinate, grill the chicken on high direct heat until cooked. Flip the chicken often.
    
    This should take about 20-30 minutes roughly.

11. 
     
    Cooked chicken.

    Done and ready for your undeserving taste buds

Tips & Warnings

• If you're not a chicken flipper, I also like to sear the chicken for about 7 minutes on each side. Then I put on the upper rack in my grill and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes.
• This is great chicken. If there is only one piece left people will actually stab you to get at it. Yes, even your unassuming Aunt Mildred....she will STAB you.
