Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 120 ml Greek yogurt
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Cut the bell peppers and red onion into chunks roughly the same size as the chicken pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the chicken pieces, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto the soaked skewers. Leave a small gap between each item to allow for even cooking.
Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with a side of mint chutney or yogurt dip.
