Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Inch fresh ginger root,
- peeled and grated
4 Garlic cloves, peel/grated
1 ts Cumin seed
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Plain yogurt
4 lb Chicken, in serving pieces
2 tb Veg. oil
1/2 ts Turmeric

Preparation and cooking time: 2 hours for overnight marinating, plus
about 1 hour

Combine grated ginger, garlic, cumin seed, cayenne pepper, salt and
yogurt.

Put the chicken pieces in a foil-lined baking pan, pour over the
yogurt mixture, and use your hands to coat the meat completely. Leave
the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Dribble the oil over the chicken in the
baking pan, and sprinkle the chicken with turmeric. Place the pan in
the oven and bake for about 1 hour, basting frequently with the oil
and yogurt marinade at the bottom of the pan. Serve with hot pita
bread and lentil dal.
