Chicken Tikka
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup ground cashews
- Pinch of ground mace
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks (no smaller).
- Combine the chicken in a bowl with all the ingredients except the butter, fennel, and cilantro.
- Marinate while you heat the grill or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire need be only moderately hot, and the rack should be 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
- If youre using wooden skewers, soak them for a few minutes.
- Thread the meat onto the skewers, leaving a little bit of space between pieces.
- Grill, basting with the melted butter, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the ground fennel and cilantro and serve.
