Chicken Marinade
I used a chicken breast but you are free to use whichever pieces you prefer. If you use more than a breast then increase the spice powders except the turmeric by 1/2 to 1 tsp as you see fit.
marinade the chicken in
a cup of plain yogurt,
1 tsp red chilli powder,
1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli flakes,
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp turmeric,
1.5 tsp TCCHC crushed coriander powder,
1 tsp crushed cumin seeds.
Marinade for a minimum 30 minutes.
