1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 to 1/2 cayenne, to taste
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp red food coloring (optional)
Scallions and lime wedges

1. remove skin from chicken; make two deep gashes in each piec of meat. rub chicken all over with 1 1/2 tbsp or the lime juice and 1 tsp salt. place in a 12 x 8 x 2 baking dish ( I don't know why they put baking dish sizes in a recipe)

2. In a medium bowl, combine yogurt with ginger, garlic, cardamom, cumin, cayenne and black pepper, remaining lime juice and salt, and food coloring, if desired. pour over chicken and turn to coat. cover loosely and refrigerate, turning occasionally for at least 4 hours or over night.

3. When ready to cook, light charcoal grill or preheat oven to 400 deg. Grill over mdeium-hot coals or bake 40 - 45 minutes, turning and basting frequently with yogurt marinade. Garnish with scallions and lime wedges.
