Tandoori Lemon Glow

Ingredients

Fresh cilantro leaves

1/4 cup, finely chopped for garnish

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Coriander powder

1 teaspoon

Cumin powder

1 teaspoon

Red chili powder

1 teaspoon

Turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon

Ginger

1 teaspoon, freshly grated

Yogurt

1/2 cup, plain

Lemons

4, medium-sized

Instructions

1. Slice the lemons into halves and squeeze out the juice, making sure to reserve the juice for the marinade.
2. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, freshly grated ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice. This aromatic mixture will serve as your marinade.
3. Add the lemon halves to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them soak up the flavors for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Arrange the marinated lemon halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
6. Garnish the Tandoori Lemons with the finely chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot. They make a great appetizer or a tangy side dish to complement a main course.
