A mesmerizing culinary journey with our marinated chicken leg quarter, slow-cooked to perfection in a heady blend of spices and aromatics, resulting in a kebab that's as intoxicating as it is flavorful
:
1 whole chicken leg (raan), skin-on
30 gramss ginger garlic paste
10 grams red chili powder (adjust to taste)
10 grams turmeric powder
6 grams garam masala
6 grams cumin powder
6 grams coriander powder
15 grams Salt
250 grams curd (Dahi)
30 ml mustard oil or any refined oil
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
1. **Clean and Score the Chicken Leg:**
Ensure the chicken leg is clean. Using a sharp knife, make deep cuts (scoring) into the chicken leg to allow the marinade to penetrate.
2. **Prepare Marinade:**
In a bowl, mix ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, Curd (Dahi), and mustard oil to form a smooth marinade.
3. **Marinate the Chicken:**
Coat the chicken leg thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts. Marinate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
4. **Preheat the Oven or Grill:**
Preheat your oven to a high temperature (around 200°C or 400°F). Alternatively, you can use a grill.
5. **Roasting/Grilling:**
Place the marinated chicken leg on a roasting tray or grill. Roast or grill the chicken until it's cooked through and has a nice char on the outside. This might take around 40-50 minutes depending on your method and temperature.
6. **Baste Occasionally:**
Baste the chicken leg with any leftover marinade or oil during the roasting/grilling process to keep it moist.
7. **Check for Doneness:**
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the leg. If the juices run clear, it's cooked.
8. **Garnish and Serve:**
Garnish the Nasheeli Murg Ki Raan with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges.
