Instructions
Step 1
Wash the chicken cubes thoroughly & pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Apply a mixture of one tablespoon lemon juice and salt over the chicken cubes and set aside for half an hour in a refrigerator.
Step 4
In a bowl combine rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well to remove any lumps.
Step 5
Rub this marinade on the chicken cubes .
Step 6
Transfer the chicken pieces and marinade in a bowl ,cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and marinate overnight for at least 1-2 hours in a refrigerator.
You can use any one of the following for cooking the chicken
Step 1
This is what I do: Preheat the oven at 450 F broiler mode.Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the chicken skewers on it.
Step 2
Brush the chicken pieces with ghee. Tip the sheet inside the oven on top rack and cook for about 22-25 minutes flipping it after 15 minutes till chicken is done on all sided but still tender.You may get some burnt marks on the chicken but thats okay!
Step 3
Grill the chicken for 2o minutes or till done and but still tender.In between keep on brushing with the ghee and the marinade
Step 4
Heat a large pan/skillet and coat it with ghee.
Step 5
Place the skewers with chicken piece on the pan and cook medium heat for about 15-20 minutes turning them around and brushing with ghee and the marinade.Cook them till the chicken pieces are tender and you see brown colored spots on the tikkas.
Notes
Step 1
The more the chicken marinates, the more the flavor.So, marinate the chicken for as long as you can.
Step 2
Leftover chicken tikkas can be stuffed into a tortilla or paratha and made into a kathi roll.
Step 3
Best served warm with tandoori naan.Even paneer [indian cottage cheese]or fish can also be made the same way.
Step 4
I refrain from using artificial food coloring though I have noted down in the recipe..go ahead and add it to the marinade if you wish.
Step 5
Make sure you season the marinade well, else the tikka will be tasteless.
Step 6
You can use iron skewers too in place of bamboo ones.No need to soak them.
Step 7
Enjoy!
