WHAT IS TANDOORI MURGH TANGDI KABAB?
To make tandoori chicken tangdi kebab, the chicken pieces are first marinated in spices, aromatics, and yoghurt. They are then grilled in a Tandoor oven, which is a cylinder-shaped oven made of metal or clay.
Its heat source is usually a charcoal or wood fire under it, and this allows the food to cook /grill inside the Tandoor oven. In our case, we are replacing a traditional tandoor with a gas oven tandoor.
Incisions are made on the drumsticks for the absorption of the marinade that is infused with saffron, which lends a yellowish hue and rich, delightful aroma. Addition of cashew nuts and yoghurt provides the creamy texture. And, then you tandoor it.
Before presenting, brush them with melted butter and a sprinkling of chaat masala, the drumsticks are dressed with aluminium foil for an impressive presentation. To serve simply, paired them with jeera rice, a vegetable dish and a salad for a satisfying meal.
I DON’T HAVE A GAS OVEN TANDOOR
- I must say that a gas oven tandoor is a great kitchen tool. You can buy it off Amazon if you prefer.
- You can use an electronic grill or Tandoor if you have it handy.
- You can even use a convection oven setting in your microwave.
This recipe for gas tandoor chicken drumsticks or murgh tangdi kabab is ridiculously easy to follow and make. It is really quick too if you marinate the murgh tangdi the day before you cook them!
HOW TO MAKE GAS TANDOOR CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS?
- First, combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a blender jug. Blend until everything is nice and smooth.
- Next, marinate the chicken drumsticks. (The longer you leave them in the marinade the tastier they will be!)
- Set up your gas tandoor on a hob and line up the tangdi on the tandoori tray. Remember to fill up the lower container with water. This keeps the chicken tangdi moist.
- Simply wait for 10-12 minutes till they are done.
Serve these with Dhaniya Pudina ki Chutney. Feel free to make it as mild or hot as you like – murgh tangdi kabab will taste phenomenal either way.
Tandoori tangdi kabab
I’ve been obsessed ever since the first time I made them, and have been enjoying these juicy Gas Tandoor Chicken Drumsticks on a bi-weekly basis. I enjoy them with either just the dhaniya chutney, a yoghurt dip, or with some steamed rice or naan with a side salad for dinner.
THEY LOOK YUM, BUT I AM A VEGETARIAN
No worries! You can use paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes in this marinade too. Dice the paneer slab into 1.5-inch pieces. Marinate the paneer for 30-45 minutes or overnight for best results. Cook for just 10 minutes on the gas tandoor.
Garnish your paneer tikkas with freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves, and serve with the yoghurt dip and lime wedges!
