2 1.5 k. of boneless chicken thighs (skin on), cut into 2-inch squares
3 1 c. of very thick coconut cream (if using fresh, you need to extract the cream from at least three coconuts with no, or very little, water)

5 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and grated
6 2 thumb-sized pcs. of ginger, peeled and grated

12 5 heaping tsps. of sambal oelek (chili-based sauce, available in jars; you can substitute 1 tsp. of finely chopped bird's eye chilis)

Directions

1
Place the chicken in a large bowl.
2
Add all the ingredients and mix well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least six hours.At least 30 minutes before grilling, soak about 15 bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning while grilling.Thread the chicken in the bamboo skewers. Five to six pieces are a good number.Grill the chicken over live coals, at least six inches from the heat. Turn over once the undersides are nicely charred. Chicken does not take very long to cook. If your coals are hot enough, it should take only above seven minutes per side.
3
Serve the chikken tikka with white rice and a light vegetable salad on the side.If you want to serve the salad you see in the photo, just tear a bunch of Romaine lettuce and cut some tomatoes. Make the dressing by mixing together the juice of half a lemon, about two generous splashed of extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar.
4
Pour the dressing over the lettuce and tomatoes, toss then serve sprinkled with fresh cilantro.
