Tandoori Marinade

This is a really quick and flavourful marinade to make for paneer tikka, and even for grilled vegetables like cauliflower. For a special twist, try giving the dish dhungaar/smoke!

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp chickpea flour (besan)
3 large cloves of garlic,
chopped/smashed
½” piece ginger, chopped
2 tsp roasted cumin powder
(bhuna zeera powder)
1 tsp chaat masala
1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp kasuri methi

#BorosilTip:This marinade works well with other vegetables, like cauliflower, broccoli or potatoes too! If you're prepping for a party, just double the quantity and use a mixer grinder with a larger jar. You can also prep a large batch and freeze it in airtight jars or containers

METHOD:

Place garlic in small jar of blender and chop, then add 2 tbsp of yogurt and all remaining ingredients, except kasuri methi, and process briefly to mix.
Whisk in remaining yogurt and kasuri methi. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Pour over paneer cubes or vegetables and mix gently but well to coat.
Allow to marinate for half an hour to overnight.
Grill in oven or on tava turning until all the sides are done.
Sprinkle over chaat masala and serve with a green chutney and lime wedges.
