Don't worry about a bit of singeing and charcoal on the chicken! Contrary to what you might have read, it won't kill you. You won't get cancer and you won't die a horrible death. You will die of stress, working yourself to death in a job you hate driving over an hour to work and back every day in horrendous traffic jams wondering what it's all about. But that's a different story. Relatively speaking, the singed bits on the barbecued chicken are highly survivable. Back to the food.

It's an Indian classic from the Punjab region so you'll be needing some nice spices in there!
Start by making the garam masala from a previous posting.
So, you'll need:
- 8 chicken drums or 4 thighs and 4 drums
- 1 onion
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 green chilli
- 1-2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp paprika (if you want it kid-friendly) or 1 tsp of chilli powder (if you want a little kick)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- small tub of thick yoghurt (around 200g)
Let's get stuck in!
1. Skin the chicken pieces and gash - this let's the flavours and spice penetrate the meat and give you those full flavours!
2. Whizz up the onion, ginger, garlic and green chilli in a coffee grinder until you've got a fine paste. Add to a bowl.
3. To this bowl, add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and add the chicken pieces. Work the marinade into the flesh with your hands. Massage that chicken!
4. Leave overnight in the fridge to marinade fully
5. Barbie! Barbie! Barbie!
6. It should take about 30 minutes - keep turning and make sure the chicken is safe to eat by skewering it all the way through and checking if there's no blood. No blood - that's good!
Enjoy!
