I do this with hung curd, ginger/garlic paste, tandoori masala, chilli powder, and lots of crushed ajwain. Marinate for abt 2 hrs. Maybe you can try it next time.

Golbari is actually the round building located at the 5 road crossing at Shyambazar in Kolkata. I am told that the original owners have now transferred the ownership and the place is now known as New Punjab Hotel.
