Ingredients

  • 5-6 Chicken breasts cubes or chunks
  • 15 cloves Garlic
  • 2 big sized Lemons
  • 6-7 tbsp plain Yoghurt
  • 6-7 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp White Pepper powder
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp Salt

Steps

  1. Cut the Chicken breasts into pieces of 2 inches each. The cubes shouldn't be too small. Otherwise they would dry quickly on the grill.
  2. Place Chicken in a bowl along with the rest of the marinade ingredients. Use your hands to rub the spices well until everything gets assimilated.
  3. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or so. Or better still overnight for that juicy texture.
  4. Skewer the chicken right before grilling. Grill it on a barbeque on a medium heat so that it doesn't dry. Overheating would spoil the texture.
  5. Serve it alongside any simple dip or barbeque chutney and salad of thinly sliced onions with sumac. Enjoy!
  6. Note: This can be used in wraps and rolls with sauces and pickled veggies, lettuce and fries. Much similar to that of a shawarma.
