Spicy Chicken Skewers with Cool Mint and Yogurt Chutney
SPICY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH COOL MINT AND YOGURT CHUTNEY RECIPE:
2 lbs. chicken breasts
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
juice of one lemon
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 1⁄2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup plain yogurt

Cut the chicken in to bite-size pieces, and place in a large bowl. In a blender, grind together all the other ingredients until smooth. Pour this over the chicken, mix well and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight in the refrigerator if possible. Remove chicken pieces from marinade, and cook quickly on a barbeque. Arrange on a platter, piercing each morsel with a toothpick or mini skewer. Serve with mint chutney.
