Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
- 1 whole Nutrafarms farm-fresh
- chicken drumstick
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 5-6 shallots
- 5 green chillies
- 8-9 cashews
- A bunch of fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon methi leaves
- 1 tablespoon salt
For Garnishing:
- Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a blender jar, combine shallots, green chillies, cashews, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Blend until smooth. In a large bowl, mix the blended paste with salt, methi leaves, pepper powder, ground coriander, olive oil, cream, and lemon juice. Add the Nutrafarms farm-fresh chicken drumsticks and coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavour.
2. Preheat the Grill
Heat your charcoal or electric grill to medium-high heat. This ensures the chicken gets a perfect sear while staying juicy inside.
3. Grill the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with melted butter or ghee. This step helps to lock in moisture and gives the chicken a delicious smoky char.
4. Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve warm with naan, rice, or a fresh salad.
