Notes

  • For more enhance flavors marinate and keep it overnight and bake the next day.
  • I have used Tandoori chicken masala from Everest. Use any tandoori masala powder of your chocie.
  • You can bake it for about 10 to 12 minutes in OTG or till its done.
  • I have used russet potatoes. The potatoes that you get here in USA really works the best. You can even use baby potatoes in this recipe.
  • Vary the spices as per your taste.
