Malai Tikka Kebab is a popular appetizer from the Indian cuisine that is perfect for any occasion. This grilled dish is made by marinating boneless chicken pieces in a creamy and spicy mixture, which gives it a delicious flavor and a tender texture.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams boneless chicken, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup thick yogurt
- 1 cup fresh cream (malai)
- 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala powder
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Wooden skewers
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, fresh cream, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, lemon juice, and salt.
- Mix all the ingredients well until the marinade is smooth and creamy.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, and mix until each piece is coated with the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with a cling film or lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend well.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Grill the chicken skewers for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
