A recipe I like to make at least once a month. We love chicken, mint and curd so this recipe is a fave. I have adapted it from a recipe I found on the net.

DIRECTIONS

Make gashes in the chicken flesh at several places.
Mix the lime or lemon juice, honey, yogurt, seasoning, cumin powder, turmeric and ginger-garlic mince and half the mint.
Marinade the chicken with this paste for 30 minutes to an hour.
Cook the chicken under a moderately hot grill until thoroughly cooked and golden brown, turn the chicken occasionally during the cooking.
Sprinkle with remaining mint, serve with potatoes and tomato salad.
Note: I add and subtract ingredients for a slight change in flavour.
I may use the garlic alone or no garlic, ginger, turmeric at all, depending on my mood.
