Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 4 Chicken Drumsticks
- 1 cup Yogurt also known as curd
- 2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1-2 tbsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1 tbsp Garam Masala
- 1/4 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1/2 tsp Pepper Powder black
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Onion for garnish, thinly sliced into rings
- 2-3 Chilies for garnish, green, slit lengthwise
- 1 Lemon for garnish, cut into wedges
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Wash and pat dry 4 chicken drumsticks. Make a few shallow slashes on each drumstick to help the marinade penetrate.
Marinate the Chicken
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with 1 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1-2 tbsp red chili powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp chaat masala, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1.5 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for best results).
Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Tray
- Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) for 10 minutes. Lightly grease a baking tray or grill pan with 2 tbsp of oil.
Bake the Tangri Kebabs
- Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking tray in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the drumsticks, baste with a little oil, and continue baking for another 10 minutes at a reduced temperature of 200°C (392°F).
Garnish & Serve
- Garnish the cooked Tangri Kebabs with onion rings, slit green chilies, and lemon wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tangri Kebabs
- For extra tender chicken, marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
- Don't overcrowd the baking tray; this ensures even cooking and prevents steaming.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
- For a smoky flavor, you can grill the kebabs on a charcoal grill instead of baking them in the oven.
