Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin powder, green chili paste, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Brush the grill grates with oil and place the chicken on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and tender.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve with your choice of side.
