- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Rub chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and lime juice. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne. Add chicken to the marinade one at a time, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours.
