Marinated Chicken
Accompaniments
Method
Marinated Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, and salt. Mix well until a smooth marinade is formed.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for better flavor.
Cooking the Chicken
- 3
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, brush it with oil to prevent sticking. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and charred, reaching an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Preparing Accompaniments
- 5
Cook the Rice
While the chicken is grilling, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, bring 400 ml of water to a boil, add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
- 6
Prepare Vegetables
In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Toss gently. This will serve as a fresh salad to accompany the chicken.

Assemble the Platter
