Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast cubed
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp tandoori masala
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp oil

Method
 

  1. Mix yogurt, ginger garlic paste, tandoori masala, chili powder, and lemon juice.
  2. Coat the chicken and marinate at least 1 hour.
  3. Thread the chicken onto skewers.
  4. Grill or broil 12-15 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through.
  5. Serve with sliced onions and mint chutney.

Notes

A longer marinade, even overnight, makes the chicken extra tender.
