Ingredients

4

half kg Boneless Chicken Breasts

150 grams Plain Yogurt

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

1 tablespoon Ginger paste

1 tablespoon Garlic paste

1 tablespoon Ground cumin

1 tablespoon Ground coriander

1 teaspoon Turmeric powder

1 teaspoon Chili powder

1 teaspoon Garam masala

Salt as per taste

2 tbsp Oil

Tips

For a smoky flavor, consider using a charcoal grill.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent burning.

Serve with a side of crisp salad or whole-grain naan for a complete meal.

Directions

In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Brush the chicken skewers with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Grill or bake the chicken skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.

Notes

The spices used in this recipe, such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, have been traditionally recognized for their anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and digestive health properties.

However, individuals with sensitive stomachs or certain medical conditions should moderate their intake of spicy foods.
