Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless chicken
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red chilli powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon turmeric
  • 0.75 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoons coriander powder
  • 1.125 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon kasuri methi
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1.5 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tablespoon butter
  • 200 grams bell peppers
  • 1 medium onion

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken to 1.5 inch pieces and add them to a mixing bowl. Pat dry the chicken with tissues to remove any excess moisture.
  2. Add chilli powder, coriander, cumin powder, garam masala, chaat masala, salt, kasuri methi and lemon juice. Mix well and rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes to help the chicken absorb the flavors.
  3. Add ginger garlic paste, oil and yogurt. Mix well. Cover and marinate for a minimum of 8 hours and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator. If in a rush, marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  4. If using bamboo skewers, soak them for 30 minutes and pat dry before use.
  5. Prepare a deep baking tray and line with aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 240°C (460°F) for at least 15 minutes.
  6. If using bell peppers and onions, add them to the chicken marinade and mix well.
  7. Thread the bell peppers, onions and chicken to the skewers in alternating patterns.
  8. Place them on the prepared tray, spacing them apart and bake for 9 minutes. Turn them to the other side and bake for another 9 to 10 minutes, until completely cooked.
  9. Turn on the broil mode on your oven and broil for 2 minutes to char the chicken slightly. If your oven does not have this setting, move the chicken to the top most rack.
  10. Check if the chicken is cooked through by cutting a piece in half. The meat should not be pink in the center. If still undercooked, bake for a little longer.
  11. Brush them with butter. Serve chicken tikka kebab with cilantro chutney, mint chutney or raita. You can also sprinkle some chaat masala.
