Ingredients

4 servings
Ginger2 tbsp
Garlic4 cloves
Paprika1 tbsp
Salt1.5 tsp
Red onion1 large
Bell pepper2 medium
Cucumber1 medium
Cilantro1/4 cup

Method

1

Cut chicken breast into 1.5-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.

2

Mince fresh ginger and garlic; measure garam masala, paprika, lime juice, oil, and salt into a shallow bowl.

3

Cut red onion and bell pepper into 1-inch chunks.

4

Whisk together Greek yogurt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, paprika, lime juice, oil, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

5

Add chicken cubes to the marinade and coat evenly, turning gently to cover all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4–12 hours, or at least 30 minutes if time is short.

6

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using metal skewers, no soaking needed; if wooden, soak 30 minutes.

7

Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper chunks, leaving 1/2 inch between pieces for even cooking.

8

Place skewers on the grill. Cook for 18–22 minutes, turning every 4–5 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F internally and the surface is charred in spots.

9

Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and arrange lime wedges and cucumber slices on the side. Serve with raita for dipping.
