  • 3 Tbsp. Minced garlic
  • 3 Tbsp. Minced peeled fresh gingerroot
  • 1 1/4 tsp Chili pwdr, (preferably New Mexican)

Directions

  1. Make marinade: In an electric coffee/spice grinder finely grind cumin seeds and cloves. In a blender blend grnd spices with remaining marinade ingredients till smooth.
  2. Cut chicken breasts crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips and in a large sealable plastic bag combine with marinade. Seal bag, pressing out excess air and turn bag several times to coat chicken well. Marinate chicken at least 1 day and up to 2.
  3. While chicken is marinating, soak skewers in water at least 1 hour. Prepare grill (or possibly preheat oven to its highest temperature, 500 degrees to 550 degrees).
  4. Remove skewers from water and pat dry. Thread 1 piece chicken lengthwise onto each skewer and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning over once, till just cooked through about 5 min.
  5. (Alternatively, in a lightly oiled shallow roasting pan arrange skewers in one layer and roast in middle of oven.)
  6. Serve skewers with raita and lime wedges.
  7. Yield: 8 appetizer servings
