Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 300 grams
  • Greek yogurt - 100 grams
  • Ginger paste - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Fresh coriander leaves (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
  • Ghee or oil for grilling - 2 tablespoons
  • Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped coriander leaves to create the marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well until all pieces are coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
  4. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium heat and add ghee or oil.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  7. Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
