Ingredients

> 1 (2 inch) chunk fresh ginger
> 2 cloves garlic
> 1 cup plain yogurt
> 1 tbsp garam masala
> 2 tsp ground cumin
> 2 tsp ground turmeric
> 1 tsp ground coriander
> 1/2 tsp salt
> 2 lemons
> 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
> Metal or soaked bamboo skewers
> 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps

1
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger and garlic into a shallow dish. Add the yogurt, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and salt. From 1 lemon, squeeze 2 tbsp juice into mixture. Stir to combine.
2
Cut the chicken into ¾-inch chunks. Add chicken to yogurt mixture, turning to coat. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate 2–4 hours, stirring once halfway through.
3
Set grill to medium. Thread chicken onto skewers and wipe off excess marinade. Grill 12–15 min., until cooked through, turning occasionally. To serve, transfer to a serving platter. Scatter the onion on top. Cut up remaining lemon and squeeze juice over chicken.
