| 8 | Chicken Drumsticks | |
| 3 tbsp | Tandoori masala mix (not plain tandoori powder) | |
| 2 tbsp | Natural yogurt | |
| To taste | Salt and ground pepper | |
| 1 tsp | Ground cumin | |
| 1 tsp | Kashmiri or medium chilli powder | |
| 1 | Green finger chilli | |
| 2 | Garlic cloves | |
| 2 tbsp | Cooking oil | |
| 2 tsp | Fresh ginger | |
| Optional garnish | Fresh coriander |
Preheat the oven or airfryer to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with baking paper or lightly grease with spray oil.
In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, tandoori masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, lemon juice, chilli powder, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and salt. Mix to form a smooth marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavour.
Place the marinated drumsticks on the prepared tray, ensuring they are spaced apart. Lightly spray or brush with oil.
Bake for 30–35 minutes in the oven or 20 minutes in the airfryer, turning halfway, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. For extra char, grill under a hot oven for 2–3 minutes at the end.
