Chicken Tikka

Lazy, lazy, lazy.........

That is how I feel these few days. Looking for easy to prepare dishes.
Nothing is as easy as grilling the meat. But first we need to marinate them. So here is the marinade....

Ingredients :-

• 1tbsp minced ginger
• 1tbsp minced garlic
• 1tsp salt
• 1tbsp vinegar
• 1tbsp lime juice
• 1tbsp garam masala
• 3tbsp plain yogurt
• 1 red chili
• 500g chicken breast, cut into bite sized
• 2tbsp oil
• satay sticks, pre-soaked in water for several hours

Method :-

1. Combine chili, lime juice, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, garam masala and yogurt in a blender
2. Marinate chicken pieces for 2 hours or overnight.
3. Thread chicken pieces on sticks.
4. Baste the chicken with oil and grill over medium heat until cooked, 10-15 minutes.

The red chili is for some colouring because it was not spicy at all. Of course I did not add in more chilies if I want the 3 boys to eat them.

Yum, yum goes my boys.
