Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 units Wooden skewers
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Dice the boneless chicken breast into approximately 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, garlic cloves, ginger, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

Step 3

In a large bowl, add the diced chicken pieces and pour over the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well-coated, cover the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 8

Garnish the kababs with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve the chicken kababs hot with your choice of sides such as a fresh salad, raita, or naan bread.
