8	Chicken drumsticks
2 tbsp	Lemon juice
2 tsp	Root ginger
2 cloves	Crushed garlic
1 tsp	Salt
½ tsp	Chilli powder
1 to serve	Lime
1 cup	Yoghurt
1 tsp	Garam masala
3 tbsp	Rice bran oil
½ tsp	Ground cinnamon

Directions

Heat oven to 200 deg C. Make three deep incisions in the flesh of each drumstick, without cutting right through. Place drumsticks in a ceramic dish. Combine lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt and chilli powder into a paste and rub all over the chicken pieces. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow juices to drain.
At the same time, combine yoghurt, garam masala, oil and cinnamon. Remove chicken from drained juices, place in a clean dish and coat with spiced yoghurt mix. Leave to marinate for 2 hours.
Place chicken on a rack resting in an oven pan. Roast for 30 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve with lemon or lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
