Easy Chicken Kebabs

This is modified from madhur jaffrey's quick & easy indian cooking. i love her recipes, but find that they call for far more fat than my diet can sustain, so i've left all the flavor but cut the butter and oil. These are wonderful as either an appetizer to share with a crowd, or a main dish for 4. Just a note- turmeric stains, so please be careful not to get the marinade on your counter, or your clothes.

Steps

Cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes.
Put in a mixing bowl and rub with the lemon juice and 1 / 2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl , mix the yogurt and flour , whisking to combine well.
Add the remaining 1 / 4 teaspoon salt , and the ginger , garlic , cayenne , turmeric , cumin , and garam masala.
Mix well , then pour the yougurt mixture over the chicken.
Mix to coat all of the chicken pieces , then set aside for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your broiler or grill to high heat.
Thread the chicken onto skewers.
Place on a broiling pan or directly onto the grill grate.
Baste with half of the melted butter.
Cook for five minutes , then flip and baste with the remaining butter.
Cook for 2 - 3 more minutes , or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve immediately.
