    Ingredients:

    Part 1
    3lbs Chicken skinned and cut into pieces
    4 to 5 Garlic cloves
    2 Teaspoons Chopped Ginger
    1/2 Cup Yogurt or Sour Crea1
    1 Tablespoon Ground Corriander
    1 Teaspoon Ground Cummin
    1/4Teaspoon Ground Tumeric
    1 Teaspoon Chillie Powder(more if you like it hot)
    1 Teaspoon Ground Paprika
    2 Teaspoons Salt

    Part 2
    1/2 Stick Sweet Butter or Ghee
    1/2 Teaspoon Sweet Cummin
    Red colouring


    METHOD

    Wash and remove any extra fat from the meat, pat dry and put
    deep cuts on the pieces of the meat so that the spices will
    get into the meat. Add salt and black pepper.

    In a blender, blend the garlic and ginger with the yogurt.
    Then add the rest of the Part 1 ingredients (except the salt
    which is already added) to it and blend again until they are
    thoroughly mixed.

    Rub this paste thoroughly into the pieces of chicken and let
    it marinate overnight(or 4 to 5 hours)in a covered tray in
    the fridge. Bake it in a preheated oven at 375F until meat is
    cooked, but not too dry.

    Melt the butter or ghee,add the sweet cummin and the colouring
    and mix them together.

    Remove the chicken from the oven, and brush on the butter
    mixture to one side of the pieces of chicken, and bake it at
    400F for 5 minutes. Remove the Meat from the oven, turn the
    pieces on to the other side and brush the butter mixture,
    making sure that the colouring has coated each piece in its
    entirety.

    Bake it for another 5 minutes at 400F.

    Remove it immediately and serve it with rice.
