Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 6 tablespoons plain yogurt

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon chile flakes

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • metal skewers

Directions

  1. Combine yogurt, garlic, cumin, turmeric, ginger, pepper, chile flakes, and cinnamon in a glass or ceramic bowl; mix well.

  2. Chop chicken into small chunks and add to the yogurt mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and thread onto skewers.
