Ingredients
- 🍴1 kilograms chicken boneless
- 🍴1 red bell pepper
- 🍴1/2 tablespoon garlic paste
- 🍴1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 🍴1/2 capsicum (green pepper)
- 🍴3 tablespoon mustard oil
- 🍴2 pinches powdered turmeric
- 🍴2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 🍴salt as required
- 🍴1 cup hung curd
- 🍴1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 🍴1/2 tablespoon ginger paste
- 🍴2 1/2 tablespoon gram flour (besan)
- 🍴1 1/2 onion
- 🍴1/2 tablespoon kasoori methi powder
- 🍴1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 🍴2 pinches powdered black pepper
- 🍴1 teaspoon garam masala powder
Instructions
- 🍴Chop the chicken and prepare the marinade
Wash the boneless chicken and pat it dry. Next, slice the chicken into bite-sized chunks. To prepare the marinade, take a large bowl and mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, salt, garam masala, red chili powder, black pepper powder, kasoori methi powder, and turmeric and stir until well-coated. Mix well and then add mustard oil. Then add, gram flour and chaat masala and mix once again. Once the marinade is done, taste a bit and adjust the seasonings.
- 🍴Marinate the chicken overnight or for 6-7 hours
Add chicken pieces in it and marinate. Cover with a lid and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. The longer you will marinate chicken, the more succulent and juicy it will be. Afterward, wash the green and red bell pepper, and cut them into cubes in a small bowl. Then, peel the onion and cut it into cubes as well in a separate bowl. Keep them aside until required.
- 🍴Arrange the tikka with veggies
Take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator and add the cubed veggies to it. Marinate them for 10-15 minutes and line a baking tray with a foil or baking sheet. Put a rack over this baking tray for grilling the chicken tikka. Take skewers and put the marinated chicken in it along with bell peppers and onion cubes. Place them alternately and put these skewers on the rack. Make sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly. (Note: Preheat the oven at 250 degrees Celsius for grilling the chicken tikka for a minimum of 15 minutes.)
- 🍴Grill the Chicken Tikka for 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven
Add the baking tray into the heated oven and grill the tikka for about 20-30 minutes until they are tender. You can check after 15 minutes to check if the chicken is half done. Make sure that the chicken pieces are not that big, else it will take more time to cook and the veggies will be burnt by that time. After 20-25 minutes, rotate the skewers so as to cook from all the ends.
