Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken

  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Wash thoroughly and pat completely dry.

First Marinade

  • In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, hung curd (or Greek yogurt), ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, and salt. Add the chicken and mix well to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or preferably longer for maximum flavor.

Second Marinade

  • Add the mustard oil and Kashmiri chili powder to the marinated chicken. Gently mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for another hour.

Assemble and Cook

  • Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. Brush the skewers lightly with vegetable oil.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Serve

  • Remove the kebabs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish generously with chopped fresh coriander, onion rings, and chaat masala. Serve hot and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Tikka Kebabs

  • For extra smoky flavor, grill the kebabs on a charcoal grill instead of baking them in the oven.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or grill; ensure adequate space between skewers for even cooking.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level. For a milder kebab, reduce the amount of chili powder and add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
