Ingredients

For the Tandoori Chicken Skewers:

  • 450 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 Cup Plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Tandoori masala spice blend
  • 1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

For the Mint Yogurt Sauce:

  • 1 Cup Plain yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Tandoori Chicken Skewers:

  • In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori masala spice blend, ginger garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
  • Add the chicken thigh pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  • Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a charred, slightly crispy exterior. 

Prepare the Mint Yogurt Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt, finely chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice, honey, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

Serve:

  • Arrange the grilled Tandoori Chicken Skewers on a serving platter. 
  • Serve the Mint Yogurt Sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle it over the skewers.
  • Garnish with additional chopped mint leaves, if desired. 
  • Serve the skewers hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite.
