This Spice Mix can be kept for up to 6 months (or longer),

provided it is kept tightly sealed in an airtight container

Remove the skin from the Chicken Thighs, and cut slits into

the thickest part of the meat on both sides

In a small bowl, mix up the Juice of Half a Lemon/Lime with 1

Tablespoon of the Tandoori Marsala

Rub this mixture into the slits of the meat and set aside

while you prepare the Yoghurt Marinade
In a seperate bowl, mix up the rest of the spices, with the

Yoghurt and the Juice of the other half of the Lemon/Lime and

color
Add the Oil
Add the Chicken Thighs to the Yoghurt Marinade, make sure they

are well covered with the Marinade and marinate for 2 hours in

the fridge
Pre-heat the Oven to 225C/400F/Gas Mark 7

Make a bed of sliced potatoes in a large Oven Roasting Pan

(this prevents the Thighs from either burning on the bottom or

boiling in collected juices/water - besides the potatoes make

a very tasty accompaniment to the Tandoori Chicken.

Lay the marinaded Chicken thighs on top of the potato
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 - 30 Minutes
Heat the Griddle Pan/Grill Plate or BBQ and scorch the cooked

Chicken Thighs.
Now add a sprinkling of chat masala a light squeeze of

additional Lemon/Lime Juice to the thighs, just before serve.
