How to Make Tandoori Marinade
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste, 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1.5 lbs of your protein of choice (chicken, lamb, tofu, or vegetables) to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for best results. The longer you marinate, the more tender and flavorful your dish will be!
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Thread marinated meat or vegetables onto skewers (if using) or place directly on the grill/baking sheet.
- Grill or bake for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for other meats.
