Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, grated ginger, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt until homogenous.
Add the chicken pieces and turn them in the marinade to coat fully.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with foil or parchment.
Arrange marinated chicken in a single layer on the tray.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once until cooked through and slightly charred.
Optional: Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra char. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For spiciness, add cayenne or Kashmiri chili. Marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
