A good substitute to Tandoori Chicken is Pahadi Murgh Kebab. I made it often in my place whenever we have a n appetite for Chicken Kebab but don't want to have tandoori chicken. A bit raw in taste, Pahadi Murgh Kebabs are really tasty . Chickpea Flour gives an unique flavor to this dish which I love. This Kebabs are also known as Gypsy style Chicken Kebab...

[/url]Notes
Deshi Chicken (Country Chicken) will give the best taste to those Pahadi Kebabs.
It’s better to use Chicken with bones since, this is a Gypsy dish and bony Chicken gives this dish a natural flavour.
Though I have used refined oil to just to cut the calories, however a mixture of Mustered Oil and Ghee would be ideal for making those Kebabs.
