Tandoori chicken

Ingredients

· 2 Breasts of Chicken
· 1 small cup yogurt
· 1 tsp ground coriander
· 1 tsp ground cumin
· ½ tsp ginger powder
· ½ tsp ground turmeric
· ½ tsp chili powder (or according to taste)
· 1 clove of garlic, crushed
· salt according to taste
· 1 tbsp of lemon juice

Dice the chicken breasts into neat one inch cubes and leave aside. Mix the spices and garlic into the yogurt. Low fat yogurt can be used if it’s your preference. Fresh ginger can also be used instead of powdered ginger.

At this point you can also mix in the lemon juice and salt. Do not leave the chicken to marinade for more than twenty minutes or it will be dry when it is being cooked.

Put the chicken onto skewers and either cook or barbeque under a grill using average heat until the chicken is cooked and brown.

Serve with a yogurt and mint “raita” along with fresh salad and naan (pita bread).
