Chicken Tikka
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (I have also used strawberry in the past)
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 T ginger paste
- 3 T garlic paste
- 3-4 T garam masala
- 2 dry red chillies, chopped
- 1 lb chicken (thigh is more tender) skinless and cut into 2" chunks
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
To Prepare
- Mix cilantro, ginger, garlic, garam masala, and chillies (if you have a food processor, you can blend them)
- Add yogurt, mix well, and stir in chicken until thoroughly coated
- Cover the bowl, refrigerate, and allow to marinate overnight
- Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature (like 200C or 400F)
- Thread the chicken onto skewers, place the skewers in the oven (with a tray underneath to catch drippings), and roast open till the chicken is fully cooked (perhaps 20 minutes)
To Serve
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken to taste. A nice accompaniment would be grilled peppers and onions.
