Restaurant Style Chicken Tikka🧡
✨ Soft, juicy & smoky Chicken Tikka at home!
Ingredients—
500 g Boneless Chicken, cut into medium-sized cubes
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
1 tsp Green Chilli Paste
½ tsp Black Pepper Powder
Salt to taste
For the Second Marinade:
½ cup Thick Curd (Hung Curd or Greek Yogurt)
½ tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
½ tsp Garam Masala Powder
1 tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
Salt to taste
Butter (for cooking and basting)
For Serving:
Onion Rings
Cucumber Slices
Lemon Wedges
Green Chutney
Method:
Step 1
Wash the chicken thoroughly and cut it into medium-sized cubes. Marinate with lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, green chilli paste, black pepper powder, and salt. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine thick curd, salt, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and crushed Kasuri methi. Mix well until smooth.
Step 3
Add the prepared marinade to the chicken and coat each piece evenly. Marinate for a few minutes to allow the flavours to blend well.
Step 4
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Step 5
Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the skewers in the pan and cook, turning occasionally and basting with butter, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden on all sides.
Step 6
Brush with butter and lightly char the chicken over an open flame to achieve the signature restaurant-style smoky char.
Step 7
Serve hot with onion rings, cucumber slices, lemon wedges, and green chutney.
