Chicken Tikka Kabobs
This delicious recipe, which serves four people, is authentically Indian and the kabobs are served with a cucumber sauce as well as a spicy, tangy relish. This is a really impressive dish to serve to guests and it is very easy to make as well.
You can make the kabobs and relish several hours in advance if you want, then you just have to grill them when you are ready and take the sauce and relish out of the refrigerator to serve.
What you will need:
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 chopped cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • Juice from 4 limes
  • 1/2 pint natural yogurt
  • 2 inch piece ginger, finely chopped
  • 1/4 pint water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 chopped de-seeded chili
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint
  • 1 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 chopped scallions
  • 1 chopped onion
  • Salt
How to make them:
Chop each breast into eight pieces. Combine the garlic, turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala, yogurt, ginger, and half the lime juice to make the marinade. Coat the chicken in the marinade and thread it on to skewers. Refrigerate the kabobs until you are ready to cook them.
Process the remaining lime juice with the water, cilantro, chili, mint, sugar, scallions, and onion in a food processor to make the relish, adding salt as necessary. Keep this in the refrigerator until serving.
Grill the prepared skewers on a hot grill pan for five minutes per side or until cooked through. Chop up the cucumber and combine it with a tablespoon of the relish. Serve them on a bed of rice with some of the cucumber salad. Spoon the rest of the relish over the top.
