New Series: Daasi Dishes

Being a Daasi is not just about satisfying my Swami sexually. I also like cooking for him. I will showcase some of the dishes I make for him in this series. Hope you enjoy it!

As a first in the series, Tandoori Chicken, my Swami's all time favorite!!

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) containers plain yogurt  
2 teaspoons kosher salt (I add slightly more, because well, my Swami likes salt :-) )
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 teaspoons paprika (I use hot red chili powder, because my Swami loves spicy food)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground coriander
16 chicken thighs (or breasts, adjust quantity accordingly, I usually leave the skin in)
     olive oil spray

Recipe

1. In a medium bowl, stir together yogurt, salt, pepper, cloves, and ginger. Mix in garlic, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and coriander. Set aside.
2. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour yogurt mixture over chicken, press air out of bag, and seal. Turn the bag over several times to distribute marinade. Place bag in a bowl, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight, turning bag occasionally.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for direct medium heat.
4. Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Spray chicken pieces with olive oil spray.
5. Place chicken on the grill, and cook about 2 minutes. Turn, and cook 2 minutes more. Then arrange the chicken to receive indirect heat, and cook approximately 35 to 40 minutes, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F.

Hope you get a chance to try and enjoy!!
