As a big fan of yogurt based marinades for chicken (for example Chicken Tikka), this one immediately caught my eye. Unlike Tikka, you only marinate this one for 30-45 minutes so it doesn't require much planning ahead. I have not tried this one yet but wanted to make it public for the Zaar World Tour. Cooking time include time to marinate the chicken.
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 small onion, cut in half and broken up into layers
4 small tomatoes, halved
8 bamboo skewers
1 lemon, cut in wedges
parsley
Directions:
1. Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes, 16 in total.
2. Combine the yogurt, salt, turmeric, mustard, curry powder, cardamon, lemon juice and vinegar in a non reactive bowl. Add chicken cubes and let sit in fridge 30-45 minutes.
3. Soak skewers in water.
4. Thread chicken, onions and tomatoes onto skewers alternating as follows: chicken-onion-chicken-onion-tomato- onion-chicken-onion-chicken-onion.
5. Grill or broil about 8-10 minutes, turning half way through cooking time.
6. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
