Spicy Chicken Tikka Skewers with Mint Yogurt Dip

1.In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2.Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3.Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

4.Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

5.Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

6.While the chicken is grilling, prepare the mint yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the chopped mint leaves, plain yogurt, honey, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

7.Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

8.Serve the spicy chicken tikka skewers hot with the refreshing mint yogurt dip on the side.
