Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
for the marinade
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp. garam masala or curry powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 tsp. tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1- inch piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
grated rind and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
for the cilantro yogurt
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp. heavy cream
1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Prepare the marinade. Place all the marinade ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the marinade into a large ziplock, or non-metallic dish.
Cut the chicken breasts in 3/4 inch short strips and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat all over. I like to use a ziplock, since you can just toss it away when you are done and there is no clean up. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
While the chicken is marinating, make the cilantro yogurt. Combine all the ingredients for that in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. Note: You will probably have some dip leftover. Just use it with your favourite crackers.
When the chicken is done marinating, preheat the grill, or use a broiler. Line with foil and spray with a little non-stick cooking spray.
Arrange the chicken pieces on the foil and scrunch them slightly so they make wavy shapes (optional), refer to pictures. Grill, or broil for about 5 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown and just cooked. These will cook fast! Overcooking may result in dry chicken.
When cool enough to handle, thread 2 pieces on to wooden skewers and serve with the cilantro yogurt dip. You can serve these as a main coarse as well. Goes great with rice.
