3. Add chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, black pepper powder, coriander powder, tandoori masala, ghee, lemon juice and salt to the chili-garlic-ginger paste and mix it thoroughly. Add a tsp of water to it if the mixture is too thick. Mix it thoroughly to form a smooth mixture (Chicken Masala).
4. Take each drumstick and stuff it and coat it generously with the Chicken Masala.
5. Once all the drumsticks are generously coated and stuffed, leave them aside for a couple of hours to marinate.
