Grilled Tandoori Chicken

(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/2 lemon juice

1/2 small onion

1 tablespoon garlic

1 tablespoon ginger

1 tablespoon garam masala

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

salt to taste

1 pound chicken (boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch pieces)

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients save the chicken.

2. Place the chicken in a freezer bag along with the marinade and marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably several hours to overnight.

3. Pull the chicken from the fridge and let it come to room temperature.

3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and skewer it.

4. Grill the chicken until cooked, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Definitely a recipe to try ...and yes, if I have a meat in a marinade I always prefer to leave it overnight. As it's summer why not serve it with a crunchy leaf salad and some mixed peppers. Recipe taken from here.

All the best Jan
