Spicy Roasted East Indian-Style Chicken Thighs image

From the cookbook My Berlin Kitchen: A Love Story by Luisa Weiss by way of Mark Bittman...Serve over basmati rice or couscous. To tone down the spiciness use less fresh ginger and/or use less jalapeno (substitute with a little bit of green jalapeno sauce-Tabasco brand for example).
