A recipe I like to make at least once a month. We love chicken, mint and curd so this recipe is a fave. I have adapted it from a recipe I found on the net. Ingredients:
8 skinless chicken thighs |
1 tablespoon honey |
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional) |
1/2 inch gingerroot, minced (optional) |
3 tablespoons plain yogurt |
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional) |
4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Make gashes in the chicken flesh at several places.
2. Mix the lime or lemon juice, honey, yogurt, seasoning, cumin powder, turmeric and ginger-garlic mince and half the mint.
3. Marinade the chicken with this paste for 30 minutes to an hour.
4. Cook the chicken under a moderately hot grill until thoroughly cooked and golden brown, turn the chicken occasionally during the cooking.
5. Sprinkle with remaining mint, serve with potatoes and tomato salad.
6. Note: I add and subtract ingredients for a slight change in flavour.
7. I may use the garlic alone or no garlic, ginger, turmeric at all, depending on my mood.
