Prepare the marinade by mixing yogurt, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, red chili powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and salt in a bowl.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and slightly charred.

Baste with oil during grilling to keep the chicken moist.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced onions, and green chilies before serving.
