1 c. plain fat-free yogurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 garlic cloves
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. garam masala
1/2 t. coriander
1/2 t. tumeric
1/4 t. sugar
Cayenne
1 1/4 lb. skinless boneless chicken breast (in 1" pieces)
1 cucumber, finely diced
1/4 c. fresh mint
Pappadam or other flat bread
1. Combine 1/3 c. of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, 1/2 t. salt, garam masala, coriander, turmeric, sugar and cayenne in a food processor and puree. Transfer the mixture to large zip close plastic bag and add chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
2. Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
3. Remove the chicken from the marinade; discard the marinade. Thread the chicken on 8 12" metal skewers. Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Broil 5 inches from the heat until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
4. Meanwhile, to make the raita, stir together the remaining 2/3 c. yogurt, the cucumber, mint and 1/4 t. salt in a serving bowl. Serve the raita with chicken and pappadam.

This sounds yummy! But what is with the avocado going to the dog??? Was it a mishap or are you, *gasp*, anti-avocado???
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to meet Clumbers, before we got ours, the three Clumbers lived at a house with Avocado trees. They liked to eat the dropped fruit. So it is very amusing to treat it like a ball, until she notices it is food.
ReplyDeleteI am avocado neutral, it is OK, but the texture is kinda nasty.
