Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1/2 inch gingerroot, minced (optional)
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
4 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Make gashes in the chicken flesh at several places.
  • Mix the lime or lemon juice, honey, yogurt, seasoning, cumin powder, turmeric and ginger-garlic mince and half the mint.
  • Marinade the chicken with this paste for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Cook the chicken under a moderately hot grill until thoroughly cooked and golden brown, turn the chicken occasionally during the cooking.
  • Sprinkle with remaining mint, serve with potatoes and tomato salad.
  • Note: I add and subtract ingredients for a slight change in flavour.
  • I may use the garlic alone or no garlic, ginger, turmeric at all, depending on my mood.

Tips:

  • For a smooth sauce, use plain yogurt that has been strained to remove excess whey.
  • To make a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of milk or water.
  • For a tangier sauce, use more lemon juice or vinegar.
  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, use fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, or dill.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only about 1/3 of the amount.
  • Serve the sauce immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Yogurt and mint sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and salads. It is also a healthy alternative to mayonnaise or sour cream. With its tangy, refreshing flavor, yogurt and mint sauce is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
