Makes 12 skewers
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- Pinch of salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon cumin seed
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 30 flame seedless grapes
In a mortar, pound the garlic with a pinch of salt to make a paste.
In a dry skillet, heat the coriander seeds, paprika, cumin seeds, thyme, crushed red pepper, and curry powder until hot and aromatic, 30 seconds. Remove from pan and put the mixture into a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind to make a fine powder.
In a bowl, combine the garlic, spices, canola oil, lemon juice, parsley, ¾ teaspoon salt, pepper, and chicken cubes. Toss well to coat completely and let marinate several hours, mixing occasionally.
Skewer the chicken and grapes and grill until chicken is cooked through.
