Steps

1

Measure out your garam masala, cumin, turmeric, salt and chilli into a bowl.
2

Grate the garlic and ginger into a pulp
3

and add the pulp to your bowl of spices. Mix well with a spoon.
4

Next add the natural yoghurt and mix well.
5

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and combine well with your hands. Let this sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.
6

Carefully place each chicken piece under a medium/high grill for 5 mins each side. Don't be tempted to pan fry this chicken - it doesn't work well.
7

Serve with lettuce in warm pita bread. With rice is another optional serving suggestion
