Directions
Preparation and cooking time: 2 hours for overnight marinating, plus about 1 hour.
Combine grated ginger, garlic, cumin seed, cayenne pepper, salt and yogurt.
Put the chicken pieces in a foil-lined baking pan, pour over the yogurt mixture, and use your hands to coat the meat completely.
Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Heat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Dribble the oil over the chicken in the baking pan, and sprinkle the chicken with turmeric.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, basting frequently with the oil and yogurt marinade at the bottom of the pan.
Serve with hot pita bread and lentil dal.
