My kids are the same as me. Despite the truth; that I cook so much variety at home; if you asked my kids what shall we make for lunch? They’d immediately say chicken curry and chapati.

Make your own spice mix

For those of you that have an array of spices at home. Try mixing these together instead of the curry mix. Let me know if you like it.

Recipe – Baked Indian Chicken

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 chicken quarters or 8 chicken pieces. ( I prefer on the bone so the juice add moister)

For the Marinade

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • and 1 tbsp garlic paste/ grated
  • plus 1 tbsp ginger paste /grated
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 3 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 or 2 tbsp tomato paste (I prefer 1 tbsp only)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  • Wash, drain and pat dry the chicken.
  • Place in a baking dish/casserole dish.
  • Add salt, pepper and let sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the marinade.

For the Marinade

  • In a bowl mix all the ingredients except the tomato paste and oil.
  • Stir well and then add the tomato paste followed by the oil. (You can add them all together but the paste gets lumpy sometimes so… I do it last.)

Marinate the Chicken

  • Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover with cling wrap and let rest in the fridge for an hour, a few hours or even overnight.

Bake the Chicken

  • Remove the pan from the fridge and let thaw for an hour before baking.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 190 C / 380 F for about 45 mins covered.
  • Remove foil turn the heat up to 210 C / 400 F for about 10 minutes so the chicken gets some color. Do not overcook at this point or the chicken will dry out.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before you serve.
  • You can serve this with rice or a crusty bread. Our family favorite with Indian food is usually Chapati or Naan, both recipes can be found on this blog as well.
  • The sauce will be a little thinner mostly depending on how much juices the chicken releases as well as the quality of the yogurt. It will still be absolutely delicious with rice or crusty bread.

Here, look how simple and easy this is!

I usually do not place this separately – I just place the baking dish on the table – we love those brown bits that look kinda dark. In fact Aadi will take a spoon and scrape those caramelized bits.

  2. I love dishes that can be cooked in no time, especially on those busy days when you have no time whatsoever, but still want to enjoy a nutritious meal. Chicken is by far my facourite, and your recipe sounds delicious and hearty.

  11. Wow! I can tell that the chicken is packed full of flavor. I’m not too familiar with Indian food but reading this recipe makes me want to try it ASAP. I don’t think with all those spices that this would be an ordinary chicken dish. Will definitely try it. I have the spices and why not use them? Right?

  13. This chicken looks absolutely fabulous and the fact that is quick and easy to make is a big plus for me. I’m excited about the spice mix recipe. I love making my own spice mix – homemade is always better!!
