GRILLED CHICKEN TIKKA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the coriander, ginger, garlic, garam masala, peppercorns, salt, and food coloring, if using, to the bowl of a food processor. Process into a smooth paste, scraping down the bowl occasionally.
• Scrape the mixture into a large bowl with a silicone spatula. Add the yogurt, and adjust the seasonings to taste. Add the chicken pieces, tossing to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
• Thread the chicken onto skewers leaving some space between each piece so the chicken cooks evenly. Preheat a grill to medium-high or position a rack in the upper portion of the oven and preheat to 400 F.
• Place the skewers on the grill or in your oven with a tray underneath to catch drippings. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Put the onion rings in a separate bowl and squeeze lime juice over them. Sprinkle the chaat masala over and mix well so the onions are fully coated.
• Top the chicken with the prepared onions, garnish with remaining coriander and serve with naan or Basmati rice. Enjoy!
