Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix well until all the spices are well incorporated with the yogurt.

Step 3

Make shallow cuts in the chicken thighs to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring that all pieces are thoroughly coated.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deepen.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet and brush them with olive oil.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred appearance.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

Step 11

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy this Keto Chicken Tandoori with a side of low-carb vegetables or a refreshing salad.
