- Fennel seeds: 1 tbsp
- Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
- Whole black peppercorns: ½ tbsp
- Whole cardamoms: 3
- Whole cloves: 2
- Whole cinnamon: 1-inch slice
- Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
- Chili powder: 1 to 2 tbsp For Marinade:
- Onion, yellow: 1
- Tomato: 1 small-sized (or ½ of a large tomato)
- Garlic: 3 large cloves

- Green chilies: 2 to 3
- Cilantro, chopped: 2 handfuls
- Olive oil: 1 tbsp
- Lemon juice: juice from 1 lemon
- Salt: 3 tsp

Instructions:
- Begin by roasting the whole spices over medium heat for 5 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat, add turmeric and chili powder, and let cool. Grind the spice mix to a fine powder in a spice grinder.
- Blend all ingredients for the marinade together, adding the prepared spice mix. Grind to a smooth paste.
- Clean the chicken leg-thigh pieces, and remove the skin if desired. Place the chicken in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it. Spread the marinade evenly over the chicken, cover with cling wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Fire up the grill, grease with oil, and place the marinated chicken on it. Grill for 5 minutes covered, then flip and spray with non-stick cooking oil. Grill for a few more minutes, basting with leftover marinade.
- Grill and flip the chicken a few times until cooked through but not over-grilled. Before removing the chicken from the grill, spray with non-stick cooking oil and grill for an additional 3 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and garnish with sliced onions, tomatoes, lemon, and cilantro. Serve warm and savor the unforgettable taste of Chef Pyari Lal’s Al Faham Charcoal Grilled Chicken.
