Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless chicken breast
• 120 grams plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons garlic paste
• 2 teaspoons ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes into the marinade. Mix thoroughly so all pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (390°F).

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill or on a baking sheet if using an oven. Grill for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely charred on the outside. If baking, bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with lemon wedges and a side of your favorite chutney or dip.
