Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade

  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast, hung curd, cream, cream cheese, salt, cilantro, egg, ginger-garlic paste, white pepper powder, and green chilies. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Sauté the Spices and Flour

  • In a pan, melt the butter and heat the oil. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add the gram flour and sauté for another minute until lightly browned. Add the mixture to the marinated chicken and mix well.

Cook the Kebabs

  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature for 10 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, brushing with oil or butter halfway through. Alternatively, grill over medium-high heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish the cooked kebabs with chat masala and serve immediately while hot.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Chicken Reshmi Kebabs

  • For extra tender kebabs, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They are naturally more moist.
  • Don't skip the overnight marination! The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will be.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the kebabs instead of baking them. You can also use a grill pan on the stovetop.
