Yogurt-Marinated Grilled Chicken

I found this recipe in Bon Apetite and thought you all might like to try it! It is so good and the meat so tender and flavorful you will want to try the marinade on steak or pork too! One note-I am not familiar with Indian spices and had NO IDEA what "garam masala" was! According to Bon Apetite it can be purchased at Indian Markets......I may have tasted it before and didn't know it! Regardless-I was not about to jump in my car and tootle around town looking for an Indian Market that I am pretty sure doesn't exist and I was hungry-so ordering on the internet was not an option-SOOO I used tumeric instead.This substitute may or may not have ruined the original intent,but-we found it to be delicious!
