Yoghurt marinated chicken kebabs

Babiche Martens

The great thing with this yoghurt marinade, used here on chicken kebabs, is that it doesn’t have to sit for hours to do its thing. By the time you have threaded your kebabs, they are ready to cook. Get the rice on early and everything will all be ready to eat at the same time. Leftover kebabs are great cold and tossed into a salad.
