INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh yoghurt (should
not be sour)
1 cup finely chopped fresh
coriander leaves
2 tbsps ginger paste
3 tbsps garlic paste
3-4 tbsps garam masala
6 peppercorns/ 2 dry red
chillies
3 tbsps lime/ lemon juice
1/2 tsp orange food coloring
1 kg chicken (breast or
thigh) skinless and cut into 2" chunks
1 large onion cut into very
thin rings
Lime/ Lemon wedges to garnish
1 tsp Chaat Masala (available
at most Indian groceries)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Grind the chopped coriander (keep some aside for garnishing) and all other marinade ingredients (except yoghurt) to a smooth paste in a food processor.
- Pour the above mix into a large bowl and add yoghurt. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Allow to marinate overnight.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers and keep ready.
- Preheat your oven or grill to a medium high temperature (200 C/ 400F/ Gas Mark 6).
- Place the skewers on the grill racks in your oven with a tray underneath to catch drippings. Roast open till the chicken is browned on all sides and tender.
- Remove from skewers and put the chicken in a plate.
- Put the onion rings in a separate bowl and squeeze lime juice over them. Now sprinkle the chaat masala over them and mix well so the onions are fully coated.
- Garnish the Chicken Tikka with these onion rings and serve.
