Marinade

For Grilling

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and garam masala. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, proceed to the next step.

  2. 4

    Skewer and Grill

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, alternating with chopped bell peppers and onion. Brush the skewers with olive oil before placing them on a preheated grill. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
