Deshagified, but not deflavourfied, Meherwan Irani is back and showing you how to properly whip up Homestyle Tandoori Chicken & Lamb Chops. This is Irani's personal recipe for tandoori marinade - based on countless hours, and drumsticks, of tandoori research. No food coloring allowed. Key ingredients in Irani's recipe includes : Kashmiri chili powder for that iconic, vibrant red ya know and love in tandoori chicken + yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, roasted cumin powder, roasted coriander powder, fenugreek leaves, garam masala, and turmeric powder, and lime juice for acidity.
Post-marinade, the chicken & lamb chops are tossed onto a bed of peppers and onions—which Irani lovingly refers to as his “jugaad hack.” Pro-tip: this helps the chicken and lamb roast/grill equally on all sides, creating a crispy, 360-crust of tandoori flavour.
