Ingredients
Marinade & Main Ingredients
- 200 g plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp salt
- 1.5 kg chicken thighs cut into 3 cm pieces
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cumin, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt. Add the chicken thigh pieces, tossing well to ensure each piece is coated. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken onto 8 metal or soaked bamboo skewers, spacing the pieces evenly. Grill the skewers, turning every 3-4 minutes, for a total of 10-12 minutes or until lightly charred and fully cooked.
- Sprinkle the grilled kebabs with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use metal or soaked bamboo skewers to prevent burning.
- For best flavor, marinate the chicken for the full 2 hours if time allows.
