Instructions
 

  • Firstly, wash the boneless chicken and pat dry and place in a bowl.
  • Add salt to taste, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste, pepper powder and juice of one lime. Smear the chicken pieces nicely and keep aside.
  • In another bigger bowl, add the Greek yoghurt, cumin, coriander, garam masala powder, kasuri methi, turmeric, food colour, cream, fresh coriander, oil and make a smooth silky marinade.
  • Add the boneless chicken pieces and coat them nicely so that they drown in this rich marinade. Give a mix. Cover the marinated chicken and set aside for 4 hours.
  • Chop the onions, green capsicum, red and yellow peppers into cubes.
  • Take satay sticks and soak them for about 30 minutes before using in order to avoid burning.
  • Instead of grilling the chicken in the oven, I first pan fried them
  • Take a non-stick pan, add 2 tbsp. oil and heat it. Place the marinated chicken on the pan and grill till nicely roasted on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven at 100 degrees. In the remaining batter mix the peppers and onion. Take a satay stick and skewer the onion chicken and peppers alternately.
  • Skewer the rest of the chicken sticks in the same way.
  • Now place the skewers on a grilling rack. Turn the chicken tikka sticks and grill till nice and smoky.
  • Prepare a bed on the serving platter with fresh coriander or spring onion greens.
  • Place the skewers on the platter and garnish with onion rings and lemon wedges.
  • Sprinkle a mixture of salt, red chilli powder and pepper over the kebabs. Your Chicken Kebab Step by Step Recipe is ready to be devoured.

Notes

1. You can brush melted butter on the kebabs before serving to give a glossy texture.
2. Marinating the chicken for a long time helps in infusing all the flavours into the chicken.
3. You do not require a tandoor or oven to make grill kebabs.
