Tandoori quail is a flavorful and succulent dish made with marinated quail cooked in a traditional tandoor oven.

Ingredients

Lemon wedges (for serving)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Salt (to taste)
Coriander powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Tandoori masala (2 tablespoons)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Ginger (garlic paste - 2 tablespoons)
Yogurt (1 cup)
Quail (4 whole)

Instructions

Clean and pat dry the quail.
In a bowl, mix together yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, tandoori masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt to make the marinade.
Coat the quail with the marinade, making sure to cover them evenly. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill or oven to high heat.
Brush the grill grates or baking sheet with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated quail on the grill or baking sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and nicely charred.
Remove the quail from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges.
Enjoy the delicious tandoori quail!
