Chicken Masala Skewers

A delicious and flavourful dish that combines tender pieces of chicken marinated in aromatic spices and grilled to perfection.
  • Preparation Time: 20 minutes
  • Marination Time: 1-2 hours
  • Cooking Time: 10-12 minutes
  • Total Time: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes
  • 500g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 150g plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Prepare the Marinade:

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, vegetable oil, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), minced ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.

Marinate the Chicken:

Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavour.

Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Assemble the Skewers:

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Grill the Skewers:

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.

Serve:

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
