Yoghurt and ginger marinade is a delicious and versatile marinade that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of meats, vegetables, and seafood.

The yoghurt in the marinade helps to tenderize the food, while the ginger and garlic add a bright, zesty flavor. The spices in the marinade can be adjusted to taste, so you can create a marinade that is perfect for your own personal preferences. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or baking, yoghurt and ginger marinade is a great way to add flavor to your food.

Steps:
- Generously season chicken legs all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium. Arrange chicken legs in pot skin side down (you want them to fit snugly) and cook, lifting up once or twice to let hot fat run underneath, until skin is golden brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, placing skin side up.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add head of garlic, cut sides down, and ginger to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until ginger is starting to brown and curl around the edges and garlic is golden, about 4 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in turmeric followed by 2 cups yogurt and mix until smooth; season with salt.
- Nestle legs back into pot, skin side up, in a single layer and add water just until legs are almost submerged with skin barely peeking out. Bring to a very gentle simmer, adjusting heat if needed, and cook, uncovered, until meat is very tender and just about falling off the bone, 75-90 minutes (the yogurt will separate and look curdled, which is fine). Let cool 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely grate remaining garlic clove into a small bowl. Add remaining 1 cup yogurt and stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
- Smear yogurt mixture across a platter and scatter chickpeas over. Carefully transfer chicken legs to platter. Using a large spoon or small ladle, skim off bright yellow fat that has collected on surface of braising liquid and drizzle all over platter (it's okay if some rogue spices make it onto platter). Top with scallions and mint, then squeeze lime wedges over.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and garlic.
- If you don't have any Greek yogurt, you can use plain yogurt instead. Just be sure to drain it well so that the marinade is not too watery.
- You can adjust the amount of chili powder to taste. If you like a spicy marinade, add more chili powder. If you prefer a milder marinade, use less.
- You can also add other spices to the marinade, such as cumin, coriander, or garam masala.
- Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't burn. You can also grill the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop.
