  mix together yogurt, gingerroot, garlic, chile powder, coriander,
  salt, lime juice and oil. Pour over skewered chicken and turn to coat
  completely in marinade. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight to
  allow chicken to absorb flavors.
  
  Heat grill. Place skewered chicken on grill rack and cook 5 to 7
  minutes, turning skewers and basting occasionally with any remaining
  marinade. Serve hot, garnished with lime slices.
