Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/8 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tablespoon tamarind paste (Asian supermarket)
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
1/8 cup canola oil
3/4 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon garam masala
1 1/8 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the yogurt, tamarind, garlic, canola, salt, cayenne and garam massala.
  • Add the chicken, mix and make sure the chicken is covered with the marinade.
  • Cover and marinate for a minimum of 4 hours but 8 is prefered.
  • Preheat a grill, barbeque or stovetop cast-iron grill to high heat(if doing this indoors make sure you switch on your exhaust fan,there will be smoke whilst grilling on the high heat. (doing this in a pan does not work for me, it makes a mess and does not brown so well, grill or barbeque gave me a better result).
  • Grill the breasts 4 minutes on each side, then again 4 minutes on each side.
  • Check or the thighs are done, if still pink continue grilling.
  • Serve with the lemon wedges.
