Ingredients

• Boneless chicken thighs - 300 grams
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Brush the skewers with vegetable oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve hot with mint chutney and naan or rice.
