Zubereitung von Chicken Tikka With Cucumber Raita
- Soak six 12-inch bamboo skewers in warm water for 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
- In a small bowl, mash 2 cloves garlic, 1 inch ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt into a paste using the side of a knife.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic-ginger paste, 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons mustard oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground mace, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the marinade.
- Turn to coat thoroughly.
- Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, turning occasionally. For a deeper color, add a few drops of red food coloring to the marinade.

- In a medium bowl, combine the garlic paste, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup diced tomato, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, and 1 tablespoon toasted cumin seeds.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
