Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Make deep slashes in the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine ginger-garlic paste, black pepper powder, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken and mix well, ensuring the mixture coats the chicken evenly. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Marinate the Chicken
- In a separate bowl, combine the grated cheese, yogurt, heavy cream, coriander powder, and cardamom powder. Add the chicken to this mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator for optimal flavor infusion.
Cook the Kebabs (Microwave)
- Preheat your microwave to the combination setting (microwave and grill). Place the marinated chicken drumsticks in a microwave-safe grill tray. Baste generously with melted butter. Microwave for 15-20 minutes, turning the kebabs every 5 minutes and basting with butter each time. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power.
Cook the Kebabs (Oven)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with butter. Keep an eye on them to ensure they are cooked through and nicely browned.
Serve
- Remove the kebabs from the microwave or oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with thinly sliced onions, lemon wedges, and green chutney (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tangri Malai Kebabs
- For extra tender kebabs, use bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks.
- Don't overcrowd the grill tray or baking sheet. Ensure adequate space between the kebabs for even cooking.
- If using an oven, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a nice char on the kebabs.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your appliance and desired level of doneness. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
