Baked Quail

This is the third quail recipe I'm trying out since last week. And this is the best one too.The longer it is marinated, the tastier it becomes.The long wait for it to be properly marinated becomes truly worth when the steaming baked quail is put before you on a plate. It tastes like heaven and all of us here are absolutely in love with this dish.

Ingredients

Salt as needed
Pepper as needed
1 tablespoon Chilly powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon Coriander powder
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
1 tablespoon curd
4 quail
Butter

Method

Rub the quails with the butter, salt, and pepper.  Keep aside for 10 minutes. Place in a frying pan just large enough to fit the quails. In a measuring cup, combine the olive oil, garam masala, coriander powder, chilly powder, ginger garlic paste, curd and lemon juice,
Pour this marinade over the quails and cover with plastic wrap. If you are doing this the day before, put in the fridge to marinate overnight.
When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425F.
Remove quails to a baking dish (skin side up). Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it is properly cooked.
