Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Chicken Tikka Skewers:

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate, or overnight for best flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Step 6
Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Cooking times may vary depending on your grill.
Step 7
Make the Cucumber Mint Salad:
Step 8
In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, chopped mint leaves, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 9
Toss the ingredients together until the salad is well coated with the dressing.
