Tandoori Chicken With Mango Salsa

Tonight we had Tandoori Chicken with Prata and Mango Salsa. I was inspired by Ruth's Blog on cooking this grill chicken again. Since I had bought the Sharwood's Tandoori Spice Mix from Cold Storage sometime ago for my previous dish, I might as well try to finish it up.

This time, we had this grill chicken with prata and salsa instead of butter rice. It was rather a simple dish with refreshing mango salsa....


Ingredients:
1/2 Chicken + 2 Drumsticks
3 Tablespoons Sharwood's Tandoori Spice Mix
3-4 Tablespoons Plain Yoghurt
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon vinegar
Some Lemon Peels

Methods:
1. Remove the skin and visible fat from chicken drumsticks and make a few diagonal cuts on the thicker parts to allow for even cooking and the marinade to penetrate.
2. To prepare the marinade, combine all the above together in a large bowl and coat the chicken pieces with it.
3. Ensure that they are well coated with the marinade, transfer the chicken into a clean roomy plastic bag or container and set aside in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.(usually I prepare it in the morning and grill in the evening)
4. Preheat the top grill to the highest temperature around 200 - 220 degree.
5. Arrange the chicken and marinade in a baking dish and grill for about 15 minutes on each side or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
6. Sever hot with rice, naan or prata together with some fruit or vegetables salsa.
