Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of chicken thighs
  • 150 g plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoons ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 2 cups of Faroese potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, tandoori masala, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  4. Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle with vegetable oil.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  6. In the meantime, boil the diced Faroese potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
  7. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, and season with salt and pepper. Mash slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
  8. Serve the tandoori chicken hot with the buttery Faroese potatoes on the side, garnished with fresh parsley.
