Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook. Here's another dish that is a great way to kick-start your healthy lifestyle. Indian food has its share of spices and can be flavorful. Garam masala is a classic Indian spice mixture that means hot spices. Garam Masala is a blend of spices that are common in Northern Indian and South Asian cuisines and contains ground black or white peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cardamom, cumin, dried chiles, fennel, mace and nutmeg. You can find this in the spice section of your supermarket or make your own variation. This version of grilled chicken is so juicy and succulent it will leave you filled up and satisfied.
