Instructions

To the yogurt add tandoori mixture, chillies, garlic and ginger paste, and juice of ½ lemon and mix together. Season with salt and pepper.
Coat the pheasant pieces in yogurt marinade, and allow to sit in the bowl for 30 mins (over night if possible) to allow the marinade to be absorbed.
Heat oven to 180 °C.
Place the pheasant pieces in an oven proof dish and dot the butter or ghee over it and bake for 30-40mins.
Keep basting with the juices to keep moist.
Sprinkle chopped coriander and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes: Serve on its own or perfect in a wrap with mint yoghurt and salad.
