The following recipe is for a more traditional Mooglai (Moghul) tandoori marinade. Personally, I prefer this one as it has a clean lemony taste. But you may like the restaurant version better as it may be more familiar to you in terms of taste.

Ingredients:

450ml Plain Yoghurt
2 Red Chillies
1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Red chilli powder
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Lemon zest, grated
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp brown mustard seeds
2 tsp Paprika (for colour)
1 tsp Cooking oil

Method:

Roughly crush the mustard seeds in a pestle and mortar. Then add the chillies, ginger, garlic cloves, salt, lemon juice, lemon rind, crushed mustard seeds and the cooking oil into a blender. Blend all these ingredients into a smooth paste. (This paste will keep in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days or it may be frozen).

To create the Tandoori marinade add the blended paste to a bowl and mix in all the other ingredients. Gently beat into a smooth paste with a whisk.
