Tandoori-Style Chicken Marinade Recipe | With Yellow Mustard Oil

The marinade that does the work — yellow mustard oil carries the spice deep into the meat and keeps everything juicy through the heat.

Ingredients: 500 g chicken drumsticks; 3 tbsp cold-pressed yellow mustard oil; 2 tbsp mustard paste (yellow mustard seeds, ground); 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste; ½ cup curd; turmeric; red chilli powder; salt; lemon.

1. Score the drumsticks and rub with salt, turmeric and lemon juice. Rest 15 minutes.

2. Whisk the yellow mustard oil, mustard paste, curd, ginger-garlic paste and chilli powder into a thick marinade.

3. Coat the chicken and marinate at least 2 hours — overnight is better.

4. Grill, bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, or pan-sear and finish covered on low heat.

5. Rest five minutes. Serve with onion rings and lemon.
