Because of its tenderizing powers, yoghurt makes a great base for a marinade. This recipe incorporates delicious spices and herbs used often in Indian cuisine. Use as a marinade for up to 1 1/2 pounds of chicken pieces, beef, or pork.

Ingredient List

  • 1 1/2 cups Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Dash cayenne pepper

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together all ingredients. Place desired meat, poultry or fish in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour yoghurt mixture into bag. Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Place bag in a bowl in refrigerator.
  2. Marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts or pork for 4 to 6 hours; bone-in chicken pieces and beef for 6 to 8 hours. Turn occasionally to ensure all pieces get covered. Drain meat; discard marinade. Grill or broil meats as desired.
