A marinade of garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric and chilli gives chicken drumsticks a dose of sub-continental spice in Alfred Prasad's tangdi kabab recipe. Making incisions in the drumsticks will help to permeate the marinade deep into the flesh and allow the chicken to cook quickly and evenly.
