Ingredients

• 2 lb Chicken thighs
• 1 cup Yogurt
• 3 tbsp Tandoori masala
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Bell peppers
• 1 Red onion
• 1/4 cup Mint chutney

Steps

1. Whisk the yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of salt into a thick marinade.
2. Cut the chicken into large chunks and coat thoroughly; marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight for the deepest flavor.
3. Soak wooden skewers in water 30 minutes so they do not burn on the grill.
4. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with chunks of pepper and onion.
5. Grill over medium-high 5 minutes per side, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
6. The yogurt marinade should caramelize into dark, crispy spots — that char is flavor.
7. Rest 5 minutes.
8. Serve with mint chutney for dipping.
