I had a joke with hayati the other day that all his dishes seem the same, cooked the same way..in tomato sauce & masala. That conversation ended with a promise that the next dish he’s going to prepare will be somewhat different from what he previously cooked.
Well, let’s see if this recipe is really unalike from hayati’s previous dishes.
He marinated 6 pieces chicken legs (skin discarded) into a mixture of:
- 1 cup plain yoghurt
- 1/2 teaspoon masala
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- juice of 1 medium size lemon
Just combine all the above ingredients, pour into the chicken pieces in a foil, seal and marinate for an hour or preferably longer.
Cook in a 250 degree oven for about 20 minutes just to tenderize the chicken. Then grill for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook 2 cups basmati rice as per the package direction. Sauté onion in a 2 tablespoons canola oil, drop 1/2 cup chickpeas, season with salt & pepper, plus he added a yellow coloring for the rice. Combine with the fluffy basmati rice.
Serve with the grilled chicken.
