Garam Masala Powder 1 tsp.
Ginger paste 1 tsp.
Garlic paste 1 tsp.
Green chilly paste 1 tsp.

Method:
1. Thoroughly clean the chicken. Slit it slightly with a knife.
2. Apply a mixture of red chilly powder, salt and lemon juice all over the body and marinate it for 30-45 minutes.
3. Churn the yogurt and add ginger, garlic and green chilly paste, garam masala and mix well.
4. Add yogurt mixture on chicken and toss until the mixture is adequately spread on all the pieces. Marinate it for 6-7 hours. I kept it overnight in fridge.
