Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.

2

Add Chicken to Marinade

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and ensure they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.

4

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

5

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
