Ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks, skinned

150 ml natural yoghurt

1 1/2 tsp ginger, finely chopped

1 1/2 tsp garlic, crushed

1 tsp chilli powder

2 tsp cumin powder

2 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp red food colouring

1 tbsp tamarind paste

150 ml water

150 ml oil

salt

Preparation:

1. Place the yoghurt in a bowl and add the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt and red food colouring and blend until well combined.
2. Make 2-3 slashes in each piece of chicken. Add the chicken to this and mix to coat well. Leave the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the tamarind paste with the water and fold into the yoghurt and spice mixture. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture and set aside to marinate for a further 3 hours.
4. Transfer the chicken pieces to a heatproof dish and brush the chicken with oil. Cook the chicken under a pre-heated medium- hot grill for 30-35 minutes, turning the chicken pieces occasionally and basting with the remaining oil. Garnish with the onion rings,tomatoes and lemon wedges and serve hot.
