Cooking Meat Chicken tikka skewers with mint raita

Coated in three different spices, these tender chicken skewers are cooled down with a dip in the traditional yoghurt-based mint raita.

  1. To make the mint raita, place the mint, garlic, chilli, cumin and 1 tablespoon of yoghurt in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the remaining yoghurt and process until just combined. Transfer to a bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Combine the yoghurt, ginger, garam masala, turmeric and chilli in a glass or ceramic bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.
  3. Line a baking tray with foil. Brush with oil to grease. Thread chicken pieces onto the skewers. Transfer to the prepared tray.
