1kg chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
Naan bread, to serve

Marinade

1/2 cup (140g) Greek-style yoghurt
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3cm piece (15g) ginger, peeled, finely grated
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp red chilli powder, or to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 tbs lemon juice

Mint yoghurt dressing

1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup mint leaves, roughly chopped
1/3 cip coriander leaves and stalks, roughly chopped
Good pinch of caster sugar
1 tbs apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
120g Greek-style yoghurt

Method

1.

For the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a small food processor and whiz until smooth. Season to taste.
2.

Place chicken in a non-reactive bowl and add the marinade. Mix well to coat, cover, and chill for 3-4 hours or overnight to marinade. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
3.

Thread chicken onto skewers. Preheat a chargrill or barbecue to medium-high. Cook skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly charred and cooked through.
4.

Meanwhile, for the mint yoghurt dressing, place all ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth. Season to taste. Serve skewers with yoghurt dressing and naan bread alongside.
