Directions


Combine the fenugreek, garam masala, sugar, garlic, cardamom, peppercorns, salt, yogurt, and tomato paste in a large bowl and mix well; set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting. Add the chicken thighs and drums and coat well. Cover the bowl and let marinate in the fridge for 45 minutes to 4 hours.

When ready to cook, preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and place on the hot grill. Basting regularly with the reserved marinade, cook until the chicken is done and juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes.

    I used a slightly different technique for grilling. I used paper towel to wipe the marinade off the chicken, so the yogurt would not burn. Then, I cooked the chicken, skin side down, over medium heat, not medium high, with the lid closed. I turned the chicken after 8 mins.,then basted it on both sides and cooked the raw side for 6-8 mins, checking for doneness. Penzeys Balti Seasoning makes a good substitute for the cardamom, cayenne, garam masala, and fenugreek.

    Very tasty. Careful to use low heat as the yogurt burns easily in a grill pan where it can't drip away as much as on a grill rack.

    Delicious. This was great. We made it with boneless skinless chicken breasts and it was great.
