Tandoori Roast Chickenand Vegetables

Our lunch plans with some friends got cancelled the Sunday before last and I got some time to make something nice for a Sunday lunch and also make more of it, so I can save some for our weeknight dinners. I did make more of this Tandoori Roast Chicken and Vegetables but not much of it was left over to save for weeknight dinners. I take that as a compliment. Thank you, thank you!

Whenever possible I try to buy chicken with bone-in. AJ really prefers them over the boneless ones. But the bone-in pieces are usually bigger than what I would like them to make curries with. So, if I have plans to make chicken curry, I usually get a whole chicken cut up from the butcher, into pieces small enough for a curry. These bigger pieces that you can pick up right off the shelf are perfect for grilling and roasting. That is precisely what I did with these bone-in breast and thigh pieces. Threw some potatoes, carrots and onions in it and ground up some masala to rub in and roasted in the oven for a good 40-45 minutes for this mouthwateringly delicious Tandoori Roast Chicken and Vegetables.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts / thighs bone-in
  • 4 yellow potatoes (I used a mix of yellow, red and purple potatoes)
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • ½ lemon
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro

To grind to a paste

  • 2 green cardamom
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 inch cinnamon
  • 1 star anise
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon tandoori masala powder
  • 1 cup cilantro packed
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chopped ginger

Don't forget to check out Step-by-step instructions with photos in the body of the post above

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Grind all the ingredients for the paste to a fine paste. Add a little water to help grind well.
  • Scrub the potatoes and carrots well. Cut the potatoes in half. Roughly chop the carrot ( at an angle so it looks prettier). Chop the onions to fairly big pieces (maybe about 12 from half an onion).
  • In an oven safe casserole dish, add the chicken pieces and the vegetables. Add the olive oil, salt and the ground paste. Mix well. Rub the chicken well with the ground masala.
  • Arrange in such a way that chicken is resting in between the vegetables but not covered on top with the vegetables.
  • Roast in the oven for about 40 mins. Check for doneness. Use a meat thermometer. It should read at least 165F when you check inside the chicken. Check in various spots so you get an accurate reading.
  • Take out of the oven once done. Squeeze the lemon over it just before serving and garnish with cilantro.
