Chicken Tikka Skewers Recipe

Ingredients:

1. 1 pint live natural yogurt
2. 1 tbsp Cumin powder
3. 1 tbsp garam massala
4. 1 tsp Coriander powder
5. 1 tsp Turmeric powder
6. 1 tsp chilli powder
7. Juice 1 lemon
8. 8 cloves garlic – crushed
9. 1 inch grated ginger
10. 4 Chicken Breasts Cubed
11. 1 Lemon

Method:

• Preheat oven at 200oC.
• Mix the spices, lemon juice, ginger and garlic up into a paste with a little water and stir in well with the yogurt to make a tandoori marinade.
• Marinate the chicken in the marinade for 2-6 hours. Shake off excess marinade and place chicken pieces on skewers on a wire rack.
• Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes and check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest piece with a skewer, if the juices run clear it’s cooked.
• Avoid over cooking as this will dry the meat out, serve with a wedge of lemon.
