## Ingredients

- 1 kg bone-in, skinless chicken pieces (thighs)
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1 onion, grated
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp each of paprika, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, ground ginger and ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp cloves and nutmeg
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- Charcoal for smoking

## Method

1. Score the chicken with thin cuts.
2. Blend all the marinade ingredients and coat the chicken. Leave overnight.
3. Cover with foil and bake in a hot oven at 200°C for about an hour, then uncover and brown. If you have a rack, put the chicken on it with a tray underneath (vegetables can go below); it comes out even better.
4. Once cooked, place a piece of foil with oil, light the charcoal and smoke it. Serve with poori, naan or paratha.
