  2       lb           Chicken legs  (6 legs?)
                       Butter for basting
                       -----MARINADE-----
    1/4   c            Yogurt
  2       T            Ginger paste
  2       T            Garlic paste
    1/2   ts           White pepper powder

  2       T            Gram flour
                       Salt -- to taste
  5       T            Oil

 Clean, remove skin and debone chicken.  Cut each leg into 4 pieces -
 24 tikka in all.

 Whisk yoghurt in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix
 well. Rub the chicken pieces with this mixture.  Keep aside for 3 1/2
 hours.

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

 Skewer the marinated tikka at least an inch apart. Keep a tray
 underneath to collect the drippings.

 Roast in a moderately hot tandoor for 6-7 minutes, basting at least
 once. In a charcoal grill, for about the same time, basting once. In
 a pre-heated oven, roast the tikka for 8-10 minutes, basting at least
 twice. Make sure that the chicken does not touch the sides or the
 bottom of the oven.
