Ingredients
  • 100 g boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh cream
  • 1 tbsp thick yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp green chili paste (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp cornflour
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tbsp melted butter or oil (for basting)
Instructions
  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    In another bowl, mix fresh cream, yogurt, green chili paste, garam masala, ground cumin, black pepper powder, cornflour, and salt.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  5. 5
    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    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.
