Ingredients

  • 400g chicken breast, cubed
  • 150g Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cm fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, spices, and lemon juice. Toss chicken in the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight).

  3. 3

    Thread onto skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill or griddle over high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve with raita, naan, and a fresh salad.

Tip: Yogurt marinades tenderise chicken by breaking down proteins — the longer you marinate, the juicier the result.
