• Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and olive oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed pheasant breast to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
