Indian style grilled chicken with Potato-Spinach casserole

It was a warm Thanksgiving day in Singapore and since we had just moved from the USA I missed the thanksgiving dinner, so thought of preparing one at Singapore.Personally I do not like turkey so I prepared the thanksgiving meal with chicken with little Indian taste to it. I happened to visit our wet market where we get all fresh sea food and meat items and bought a few chicken leg pieces .This one was the whole leg piece with the thigh still joined to the drumstick.So here goes the recipe
Ingredients
Chicken leg pieces -4
Garlic 8-10pods
ginger 1-2inch
yogurt -1/2 cup
lemon juice 1-2 tsp
red chilli powder
shaan Chicken barbeque masala
cumin-coriander powder
coriander leaves
mint leaves
oil 1-2tsp
Method-
1.Make a fine paste of garlic, ginger, coriander leaves and mint leaves.
2.Marinate the chicken with lemon juice, salt, oil, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, red chilli powder, shan masala and cumin-coriander powder.
3.Mix everything and cover the chicken leg pieces with this mixture and keep in fridge overnight or minimum 2-3 hrs.
4.Heat up the oven and place the marinated pieces in oven on a temp of 225C for about 30-40 mins 5.Halfway through remove the chicken and turn and grill again till done.

We had this with a nice Cesar Salad and baked potato spinach casserole and nice Red wine.
