Tandori Whole chicken

A whole chicken, skinned with gashes cut into the flesh
Mix the juice of a lemon and 1 teaspoon of salt together and rub all over the chicken
Leave for an hour

In the meantime put an inch block of ginger root, 4 garlic cloves peeled and a red chilli in a blender with 6 fluid oz of set natural yog. Blend. Then add 2 teaspoons of coriander, 1 teaspoon of cumin and 2 teaspoons of garam masala....mix again....

Rub this all over the chicken, refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to highest setting and put in chicken for about 20 mins....then turn heat down to 180ish and cook until done....you might need to cover it at some point if it starts to look too well done.

Very low fat and healthy and very tasty cold with salad or for sandwiches and a fraction of the cost of buying ready made tandori If you want the red colour then add a few drops of red colouring into the marinade...I dont bother
