CHICKEN ROASTED WITH GINGER AND CILANTRO
There is something about the combination of fresh ginger and cilantro that tastes very Indian, very Delhi, to me, very much like home. In India, where few people have ovens, the chicken is browned first with the spices in a pan and then cooked on top of the stove over a low flame. I have, over the years, mastered making it in the oven, only because it requires much less effort and the results are exactly the same. This chicken may be served hot, with rice or breads (pita bread would be fine too), a green vegetable, and black beans served on the side, but it is also excellent when cold and perfect for picnics.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Lay the chicken pieces in a single layer in a lasagna-type baking dish. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, cayenne, and garam masala evenly on both sides and pat in. Now rub the ginger, yogurt, and cilantro all over the pieces. Make sure that the chicken pieces end up skin-side down. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake 25 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over. Continue to bake, basting with the pan juices every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the top has browned, another 35 minutes.
