Ingredients

• juice 2 lemons
• 4 tsp paprika
• 2 red onions, finely chopped
• 16 skinless chicken thighs
• vegetable oil, for brushing

For the marinade

• 300ml Greek yogurt

• ¾ tsp garam masala
• ¾ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp chilli powder
• ¼ tsp turmeric

Method

  Mix the lemon juice with the paprika and red onions in a large shallow dish. Slash each chicken thigh three times, then turn them in the juice and set aside for 10 mins.

• STEP 2

  Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Give everything a good mix, then cover and chill for at least 1 hr. This can be done up to a day in advance.
