Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, salt, and olive oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) or preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
