Heat mustard oil to smoking point. Keep aside.

Combine hung curd, lemon juice, tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, mustard oil and Kashmiri chili paste in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and drumsticks. Add salt and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight if time permits. 

Pre-heat oven to 180-degree C. Place the chicken pieces on a grill rack and roast at 200-degree C for approximately 20 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over when one side is done. Baste melted butter on them. Grill for another 15 minutes.

If you want a charred effect on the skin after grilling pop the grill tray on the top rack for a minute or until the skin turns darker.

Once ready serve with lemon wedges and onion slices.

Alternatively, you can air fry them at 180-degree C for 10 minutes. Pull out the basket, flip the chicken and brush it with melted butter. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken cooks through. 

You can also grill them in a pan turning halfway through and basting with reserved marinade and butter until cooked through.
