By Marius Bezuidenhout

Spicy Chicken Tikka Skewers - finger food has never been so good!

Chicken Tikka Skewers

1 pint of live natural yogurt

1 Tablespoon Cumin powder

1 Tablespoon garam massala

1 Teaspoon Coriander powder

1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder

1 Teaspoon chilli powder

Juice 1 lemon

8 cloves garlic - crushed

1 inch grated ginger

4 Chicken Breasts Cubed

1 Lemon

Mix the spices, lemon juice, ginger and garlic up into a paste with a little water and stir in well with the yogurt to make a tandoori marinade.

Marinate the chicken in the marinade for 2-6 hours.

Preheat the oven to its highest heat for at least 20 minutes.

Shake off excess marinade and place chicken pieces on skewers on a wire rack in the oven.

Cook for 15-20 minutes and check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest piece with a skewer, if the juices run clear it’s cooked, Avoid over cooking as this will dry the meat out, serve with a wedge of lemon.
