You can strain plain yogurt through a cheese cloth if you can't find greek yogurt.

Ingredients

2	lb skinless chicken breast
1	tbsp lemon juice
1 1/4	tsp salt
1	pinch of saffron
1	tbsp milk
6	oz greek yogurt
6	garlic cloves
1	tbsp ginger root
1/2	tsp ground turmeric
1	tsp garam masala
1/2	tsp chili powder
2	tbsp cumin
2	tsp corn flour
1	tsp sugar
2	fl oz sunflower oil
2	oz butter

Directions

1. Soak 6 skewers for 30 minutes first as this prevents them burning during cooking.
   
   
2. Pound the saffron threads. Heat the milk over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
   
   
3. Put the chicken in a mixing bowl and thoroughly rub the lemon juice and salt into pieces with your fingertips. Set aside for 30 minutes. Soak the pounded saffron in the hot milk and set aside for 20 minutes.
   
   
4. Crush the garlic to a pulp. Grate the ginger root. Melt the butter.
   
   
5. Whisk the yogurt and add the remaining ingredients including the saffron milk, but not the butter. Mix well and add this marinade to the chicken. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours or overnight in the fridge. Bring it to room temp before cooking.
   
   
6. Preheat the grill to high and line a grill pan (without the grid) with foil. Lightly brush the foil and 5-6 skewers, soak them for 30 minutes first as this prevents them burning during cooking.
   
   
7. Thread the chicken pieces on the skewers (reserve any remaining marinade) and place them on the prepared grill pan. Cook 3 inches below the grill for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix any leftover marinade with the elted butter and brush the chicken generously with the mixture. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes or until slightly charred.
   
   
8. Turn the skewers over and baste with the remaining marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly charred. Remove and serve.
