Why This Dish Deserves the Spotlight
In a city filled with luxurious curries and biryanis, the roasted chicken leg flies under the radar. But ask any regular at Tunday, and they’ll tell you—it’s the most satisfying, finger-licking, no-frills delight on the menu. It bridges the gap between a full meal and a satisfying snack. It’s just the right size to hit the spot, and just the right texture to remind you how good simple food can be.
How We Roast It to Perfection
The secret lies in the marinade and the flame. We start by marinating the chicken leg overnight in a blend of yoghurt, garlic, ginger, lemon, and our special in-house spice mix. The meat absorbs the flavours, tenderises naturally, and is then roasted on high heat till the skin crisps and the juices seal in.
Each leg is turned by hand, brushed with ghee for that signature glisten, and served hot off the flame. The outer layer has just the right char, while the inside stays moist and spiced through to the bone. No gravy. No distraction. Just meat, fire, and flavour.
What Sets Our Spice Blend Apart
This isn’t a one-note tandoori. Our masala leans more toward Awadhi complexity—layered, aromatic, and earthy rather than just fiery. Think notes of cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, and dried mango powder.
The result is a bite that awakens your palate without overpowering it. You taste the chicken. You taste the smoke. And you keep going back for more.
What to Pair It With
The roasted chicken leg plays well with many partners. You can enjoy it solo as a snack, pair it with mint chutney and onion rings for contrast, or include it as part of a larger meal alongside biryani or roomali roti.
Need something to wash it down? Try a cold drink or Sweet Lassi for a cooling finish that complements the warm spices. It’s the kind of dish that fits seamlessly into any order—without needing much introduction.
