Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, tandoori masala, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Tandoor

    Preheat the tandoor to a high temperature, around 200°C (392°F).

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Once the tandoor is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs on skewers or directly on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the tandoor and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
