Paired with a refreshing cucumber and spearmint raita, this dish offers a tantalizing balance of warm, savory flavors and cooling, crisp textures, making it perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp of curry paste, 1 tbsp of lime zest, and 2 tsp of chopped coriander leaves.
- Add the chicken pieces to the yogurt mixture, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.
- Peel and grate the cucumber. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible by pressing it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumber, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp of finely chopped spearmint, and 1 tsp of ground cumin.
- Stir until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with 1 tbsp of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has light grill marks.
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the chicken tikka masala skewers hot with a side of the prepared cucumber raita.
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For more intense flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Feel free to adjust the amount of curry paste based on your spice preference.
- For a thicker raita, let the cucumber sit with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes before squeezing out the moisture.
This Chicken Tikka Malasa Skewers with Raita recipe is a delightful combination of spicy marinated chicken and a cool, refreshing yogurt dip that complements it perfectly.
