Make several slashes in the flesh of the chicken legs. Mix together the yoghurt, garlic, tandoori powder, chopped coriander and seasoning in a large, shallow dish. Add the chicken and rub the mixture well into the slits. When well coated, leave to marinate for at least 3 hours. Place the chicken in a baking tin (pan). Spoon any remaining marinade over.
