Tandoori Chicken Skewers

  • Prep Time
    20 minutes, plus 1 hour minimum marinating
  • Cook Time
    Approximately 12 minutes
  • Total Time
    Under 45mins

Tandoori chicken is a dish made from chicken marinated in yogurt and spices and traditionally roasted in a tandoor, (a cylindrical clay oven). Cooking this dish on the BBQ infuses the chicken with a traditional smoky flavour but you can cook it under the grill indoors for a rather delicious alternative. The great thing about this meal is it can all be made ahead of time. We also like to make a few extra as these are totally delicious served cold for lunch the following day.

Serves: Serves 6 - 9 people

For the Chicken Marinade

 

  • 3 heaped tablespoons of Greek yogurt 

  • 2-3 heaped tablespoons of Tandoori Spice mix

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced 

  • Large thumb size piece of fresh ginger, grated 

  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed 

Mix the above ingredients together 

 

Slice each breast into three long thin strips, then place the chicken in the marinade and coat each piece well. Cover with a lid and pop in the fridge for an hour minimum, but overnight would be best.   

 

Chopped Salad (prep time 7 mins)
  • 1/2  cucumber 

  • 200g cherry tomatoes 

  • 1 red onion

  • 1 teaspoon dried mint 

  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • 1 tablespoons olive oil 

  • Pinch of salt and pepper 

Quick Raita (prep time 5 mins)
  • 500g Greek yogurt

  • 20g mint

  • 30g coriander

  • 1/2 cucumber

The chicken
  • Once marinated, thread each piece of chicken onto a skewer.  BBQ for around 6 minutes each side so around twelve minutes total, but make sure to turn them often. If you’re popping under a medium high grill they may not colour the same but again turn frequently.

Quick Raita
  • Pour the yogurt into a food processor with the mint, coriander and pinch of salt. Blitz until smooth.

  • Halve the cucumber lengthways and remove the seeds with a teaspoon. Discard the seeds, then thinly slice the cucumber and mix into the yogurt just before serving.

Salad
  • Chop the cucumber, red onion and cherry tomatoes into very small chunks and sprinkle with the mint.

  • In a separate bowl mix the lemon juice and olive oil. Pour over the chopped salad just before serving. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
