Method
1. Mix the spices for the red tandoori paste together with a little water. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the paste for a minute or so.2. Place the ingredients for the marinade in a non-metallic bowl, mix thoroughly and marinate the quails in the mixture for several hours (overnight if possible).
3. Set the oven to 190°C/gas 5. Remove the quails from the marinade and reserve it. Open out a quail and spread on a chopping board.
4. Mix a small amount of spare marinade into the cold cooked rice to make it a little sticky. Take a handful of rice, squeeze it and gently fold a quail around it. Tuck in the skin flaps and the legs, and gently press the quail into shape.
5. Repeat with the other quails and place them, breast up, on a foil-lined baking tray. Pour any remaining marinade over the quails and cook for 12 minutes.
6. About 3 minutes before taking them out, mix the honey and Worcestershire sauce in a small pan and heat together to make a glaze.
7. Remove the quails from the oven, and pour the glaze carefully over them, ensuring it covers all exposed flesh.
8. Return the quails to the oven for 1-2 minutes to finish off.
9. For the Podina chutney, place all the ingredients into a blender and grind to a fine puree.
10. Serve the Tandoori stuffed quail hot or cold, with a mixed salad and the Podina chutney.
