INSTRUCTIONS
First make the marinade. Put the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and lemon
juice in a blender or food processor, and blend until you have a smooth
paste.
Place the paste in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken. Add the
yogurt, spices, and food coloring. Mix well.
Remove the skin from the chicken. With a sharp knife, make two deep
slashes on each thigh. Put the chicken in the marinade and stir until all
pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. (A large
sealable food storage bag is very helpful for marinating.)
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Broil in the oven until thoroughly
cooked -- about 25 minutes -- or cook on a grill.
Serve garnished with thinly sliced onion rings and lemon wedges.

*Garam masala is a spice mix used in many Indian recipes. It is available
at Indian groceries, but is easy to make at home. The following recipe
will make about 3 tablespoons of garam masala, more than is needed for the
Tandoori Chicken..
1 tablespoon cardomon seeds (NOT whole pods) 2-inch stick of cinnamon 1
teaspoon cumin seeds 1 teaspoon whole cloves 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/4 of an average-sized nutmeg
Place all ingredients in a coffee grinder or spice grinder. Grind until
spices are finely ground. This can also be done in a blender, though it
takes a little longer to get the right consistency.
