Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes.
-
In another bowl, mix fresh cream, yogurt, green chili paste, garam masala, ground cumin, black pepper powder, cornflour, and salt.
-
Add the marinated chicken to this mixture, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
-
Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.
-
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
-
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, basting with melted butter or oil occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char.
-
Remove the chicken from the skewers and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
Note
- For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
