Indian Spiced Roast Chicken



I have to say that I'm delighted with this recipe; since I got it, I didn't roast chicken in any other way.
Yes, Indian recipes always call for a lot of ingredients, but it so worth it.

Ingredients:
1 tbs garlic, crushed / grated
1 tbs ginger, grated
1/2 tbs chilli, chopped
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala*
1-2 heaped tbs yogurt
1 small lemon, zest + juice
2 tsp salt
1 free range chicken, about 1,5 kg (or chicken pieces)

*Garam masala (for those who can't buy ready made powder)
1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp crumbled bay leaves, 1/8 tsp ground cloves 

Method:
Pierce chicken skin all over (if using whole chicken). Mix all ingredients for marinade and rub chicken with it. Place it onto baking dish. Leave aside for 30 minutes (if you have time). Preheat oven to 190-200*C. Cover chicken with Al foil (don't let foil touch the meat) and roast for 1 hour. Take the foil off and continue with roasting for another 10-15 minutes (depending on size of chicken). If using chicken pieces, reduce roasting time. Serve with rice or bread and salad.




Pečeno Pile na Indijski način

Moram reci da sam odusevljena sa ovim receptom; od kako sam njega pronasla, piletinu jos nisam ispekla na bilo koji drugi nacin. Jeste, Indijski recepti obicno traze mnogo sastojaka, ali zato nikada ne razocaraju.

Potrebno:
1 K bijelog luka, protisnutog / rendanog
1 K djumbira, rendanog
1/2 K ljute papricice (ljuspice ili svjeze)
1 k kurkurme prah
1 k kima prah
1 k korijandera prah
1 k garam masala zacina*
1-2 puna K jogurta (grcki ili cvrsti)
1 manji limun, ribana korica i sok
2 k soli
1 pile u cjelini (ili dijelovi - 1,5 kg)

*Garam masala (ako ne mozete naci gotov zacin)
1/2 k kima u prahu, 1/2 k paprike, 1/4 k cimeta, 1/4 k kajen bibera/paprike, 1/4 k praha lovorova lista, 1/8 k klincica / karanfilica

Nacin:
Izbockajte kozu pileta (ako koristite cijelo pile). Pomijesajte sve sastojke za marinadu i namazite pile s njom. Smjestite u tepsiju. Ostavite po strani oko 30 minuta (ako imate vremena). Ukljucite rernu na 190-200*C. 
Zastitite pile sa Al folijom (da ne dodiruje meso) i pecite oko 1 sat. Skinite foliju i nastavite peci jos oko 10-15 minuta, u zavisnosti o velicini pileta. (Komadi izrezani trebaju manje vremena za ispeci).
Servirajte sa rizom ili hljebom i salatom.
