Instructions
- Wash & dry chicken. Cut it into bite sized pieces, roughly 1×1 inch.
- Rub lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, salt and pepper over the chicken. Let
- it sit for 30 minutes.
- After 30minutes, add malai, curd and cardamom powder to the chicken. Let
- the chicken marinade for at least 2 hours, before cooking.
- To cook the tikkas, skewer them on wooden or metal skewers and cook in a pre-heated oven @ 220C or 400F for 20 minutes, while basting with oil or butter every 5 minutes.
- You can also pan cook them over gas flame in a non-stick pan or on a non-stick grill plate (the one I used). It’s important to brush the chicken occasionally with butter or oil to ensure even cooking and avoid dryness in tikkas.
- Serve the tikkas hot along with a tangy sliced onion, tomato, cucumber, coriander and green chilli salad. A hot coriander – mint chutney also is a popular accompaniment with tikkas
