  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons Shan tandoori masala

Garlic Butter Custard:

  • 68 garlic cloves mixed with 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Tandoori Chicken: Mix all the ingredients except the oil and smoking chips in a large bowl. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Heat oil in a wok or pan on high heat. Add the chicken and marinade, cook for 5-8 minutes until tender. Smoke the chicken with wooden chips.
  2. Garlic Butter Custard: Roast garlic, then mix with butter, egg, milk, salt, paprika, and parsley. Whisk thoroughly to combine.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before assembling
  • Adjust spice levels to suit your preference
  • Watch the broiling process closely to prevent burning
