Marinating chicken in yogurt and spices makes it super tender and juicy, not to mention incredibly flavorful. This is one of our favorite recipes for summer grilled skewers and can be done with other meats like lamb or try it with fish or shrimp (reduce marinating time to 1 hour). Serve with warm naan if desired, fresh spiced basmati rice and local chutneys.
