Ingredients

Number of serving: 4

8 bamboo skewers, soaked in cold water for at least -half an hour

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks

Marinade:

1 cup 250 mL plain yogurt

3 Tablespoons 45 mL canola oil

3 Tablespoons 45 mL minced fresh ginger

3 Tablespoons 45 mL minced garlic

1 teaspoon 5 mL kosher salt

2 Tablespoons 25 mL fresh lime juice

1 Tablespoon 15 mL tandoori paste

1 Tablespoon 15 mL garam masala

1 large red onion, peeled and cut into chunks

1 lime

Kebabs:

canola oil

kosher salt to taste

1 lime

Preparation

Make the marinade by combining the yogurt, oil, ginger, garlic, salt, lime juice, tandoori paste and garam masala in a large non-reactive bowl and mixing the ingredients together well.
Add the onion chunks and the chicken, cover the mixture with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Prepare your grill for direct medium heat. Thread the chicken pieces and marinated onions onto the skewers.
Grill the kebabs for 4 to 6 minutes, turning them 2 or 3 times. Don't overcook the chicken or it will have a mealy texture.
Remove the kebabs from the grill.
Drizzle them with a little oil, season them with salt, squeeze some fresh lime juice over each skewer and serve immediately.
