Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into chunks and place in a food processor. Add 0.5 cup yogurt, 3 garlic cloves, 1 inch ginger (peeled), 1.5 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp salt. Pulse until smooth and paste-like, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 8 oval patties, about 3 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the patties in a single batch (do not crowd) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. The kebabs should feel firm and have dark char marks.
Step 5
Serve the kebabs hot with 4 pieces of flatbread, lime wedges, and cherry tomatoes on the side. Squeeze lime over the kebabs before eating.
