Lahori Chargha Recipe - Authentic Flavors of Lahore

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 whole chicken (preferably a young rooster)
  • 1 cup yogurt (preferably plain and unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Clean and wash the chicken thoroughly, then pat it dry with a paper towel.

    Use a young rooster for the best flavor.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and coat the chicken with this marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

    The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated to ensure even cooking.
  4. Roast the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on a roasting rack in a baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

    Baste the chicken with its own juices halfway through roasting.
  5. Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

    Serve with naan or rice and your favorite condiments.
