If you can't find it in your supermarket, substitute 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Greek yogurt is a great base for a marinade -- it tenderizes the meat while adding plenty of flavor. Ingredients 1 large white onion, ½ chopped, ½ thinly sliced 3 garlic cloves, smashed 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat) 1 teaspoon garam masala Coarse salt and ground pepper 8 skinless chicken drumsticks 2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for grates 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced crosswise ¼ cup fresh cilantro Naan or pita, for serving (optional) Directions In a blender, combine chopped onion, garlic, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and ginger. Puree until smooth, scraping down sides of blender as necessary, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in yogurt, garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt, and teaspoon pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours (or up to 1 day). Heat grill to medium; clean and oil hot grates. Remove chicken from marinade, wiping off excess. Grill chicken until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally. In a small bowl, combine cucumber, sliced onion, cilantro, oil, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; season cucumber salad with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with salad and naan if desired. Rate it Print
