Yogurt and Roasted Cumin marinated Grilled Chicken Skewers
Posted By Savita
Famous as Seekh or Shish Kababs, these easy and scrumptious marinated chicken skewers are often grilled or baked in the oven during winter season in my home. Shish Kababs taste great with side of lemon rice and grilled vegetables, but we also love eating’em as appetizer with some lemon juice squeezed on the top.

Ingredients
- 1 Cup Yogurt

- 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil

-

2. Add yogurt, cumin powder, salt, cayenne pepper, mix well ans set aside. -
3. Cube the boneless chicken into 2 inch pieces and toss in into the marinade. Let it rest for 20 (at least ) minutes to 1 hour. In meantime, soak 5-6 wooden skewers in water, wet skewers will not burn while grilling chicken. -
4. Grill the chicken on charcoal or gas grill. I even grill it on one gas flame for nice charred taste. Additional Notes:
Don't forget to line your gas burner with a sheet of aluminum foil for easy cleanup. -
5. Serve hot with lemon squeeze on top and enjoy!!!
