Chicken Tikka Kebab
A flavorful and easy-to-make Chicken Tikka Kebab recipe that brings everyone together, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1 pound boneless chicken thighs You can also use chicken breast.
- 1 cup plain yogurt Greek yogurt works well.
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika For color.
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt More to taste.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro For garnish (optional).
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and spices until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Cooking
- Preheat the grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat. A little grease will help prevent sticking.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are beautifully charred and cooked through.
- Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use almond milk yogurt. Add red chili powder for heat or toss in some bell peppers or onions on the skewer for color and crunch.
