Preparation steps

1.

For the chicken skewers:

2.

Remove the skin from the chicken breasts, cut the meat lengthwise into 2 cm (approximately 3/4-inch) wide strips and rub with lemon juice and salt. Thread the meat on wooden skewers in a wavy pattern.

3.

Add yogurt, oil and vinegar to a bowl, squeeze garlic through a press into the bowl and stir in ginger, coriander, cumin, chili powder, turmeric and pepper. Coat chicken skewers with yogurt marinade, cover and chill in the refrigerator about 4 hours.

4.

Line a grill grate with aluminum foil, place the chicken skewers on top and brush with marinade. Grill about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

5.

For the carrot salad:

6.

Peel carrots, rinse and grate. Rinse cucumber, cut lengthwise, use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and cut the cucumber into cubes. Rinse pepperoncini, trim, cut lengthwise, core, remove the white ribs and chop finely.

7.

Mix vinegar in a bowl with oil and season with salt, pepper, mustard seed and sugar. Mix with the salad ingredients. Sprinkle with cashews.

8.

For the yogurt dip:

9.

Mix yogurt with cream and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Rinse celery, trim, cut crosswise into thin slices and stir with parsley and yogurt.

10.

To serve, place the chicken skewers with carrot salad and yogurt dip on plates. Serve with rice, if desired.
