  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

    Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For a smokier flavor, use a charcoal grill.
  • 💡Add a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream on top of the tacos for extra creaminess.
  • 💡Adjust the amount of jalapeño in the salsa to control the spice level.
