Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken boneless and cut into medium cubes
  • 150 g Yoghurt thick plain
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice fresh
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 ½ tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • ½ tsp Garam Masala
  • ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Mustard Oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 Green Chilli finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Coriander finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Butter melted, for basting

Instructions

  • Clean and pat dry the chicken pieces thoroughly to ensure the marinade adheres well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together yoghurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, mustard oil, and green chilli.
  • Add the chicken pieces and coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight for deeper flavour.
  • Preheat a grill or oven to 220°C. Line a tray with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
  • Grill for 15 minutes, turning halfway through. Baste with melted butter and continue grilling for another 8–10 minutes until the edges are slightly charred and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving hot with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.
