Ingredients

2 pcs lemons
4 tsp paprika
2 pcs red onion
16 pcs chicken thighs
vegetable oil
300 ml Greek yogurt
ginger
4 clove garlic
0.75 tsp garam masala
0.75 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp chili powder
0.25 tsp turmeric

Instructions

In a large shallow container, squeeze the juice from the lemons, add paprika and sliced red onion. Make three cuts in each chicken thigh and transfer to the marinade. Leave for 10 minutes.
Mix the yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, garam masala, cumin, chili powder, and turmeric. Pour the marinade over the chicken, mix well, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for at least an hour (you can prepare the dish a day in advance).
Heat the grill. Place the chicken pieces on the grate over a baking tray. Brush with a thin layer of oil and cook for 8 minutes on each side until the meat is browned on both sides and cooked through.
