To make the Sekela Chicken Recipe, you will need:
1 TBS Tamarind soaked in Hot Water
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 TSP Kashmiri Chili Powder
salt to taste
1 tsp coriander powder (dhania)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp tandoori powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
optional: pinch of red and orange food colour
whole baby chicken, cut into half length-ways, with slits
juice of 1 small lemon
mustard oil
tomatoes, onions and capsicum peppers for grilling
Sekela Chicken is best cooked on the BBQ or grilled, but due to the weather, we partially cooked the chicken in the oven first and then finished off on the grill pan. We also added a small piece of coal to some oil, then covered it with the chicken in some foil for 2-3 minutes before serving. This gives the smokey BBQ flavour when you’re not able to barbecue the chicken.
Sekela Chicken is incredibly delicious and packed full of flavour. The BBQ style char-grilled flavour combined with the delicious spices takes you to the amazing Tanzanian capital of Dar es Salaam. Sekela Chicken is delicious with chips, kachumbari salad and chutneys of your choice. We hope you give this whole grilled Sekela Chicken recipe a try and let us know in the comments how you liked it!
