Indian has to be by far my favourite type of international flavour. This one's super-easy and delicious and satisfies both the cravings for firing up the grill and getting your fix of Indian-inspired cuisine.
BRAD'S BBQ CHICKEN TIKKA
2 chicken breasts (bls, sls); 1/2 cup plain yogurt (8-10%); 2 tbsp tikka masala; 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro; minced garlic clove; juice of a lime
When I said easy I meant it. Stir the yogurt with the tikka masala, cilantro, garlic and lime and coat the chicken, cover and marinade in the fridge for about an hour or two.
TIP: When buying yogurt for cooking, or even for regular snacking for that matter, don't be too worried about reaching for lower fat content. The benefits of eating yogurt are at their best when you eat real yogurt that's gone through natural processes and there's no reason your yogurt should contain anything you can't pronouce. My advice - stay away from any yogurt that's less than 2.5% as these have a lot that you don't want in your body - you'd be better off with the extra fat... not to mention low-fat yogurt is horrid tasting.
Prep and oil grill and bbq about 6-8 minutes in each side until chicken is 170-175. Let rest and serve with naan bread and salad. Salad in the pic above is raw cucumber and cooked asparagus in a simple yogurt-cilantro-mint-lime dressing.
