Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
Juicy and full of flavor, making it perfect for any meal. The chicken stays tender even after grilling, which is often hard to achieve. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy and satisfying protein.
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper, chili flakes, cumin, tikka masala, ginger powder, garlic powder, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, mustard paste, chili sauce, and yogurt. Add the chicken and mix everything well so the flavors coat the meat. Let it marinate for about an hour.
Step 2
Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with chunks of onion, capsicum, and tomatoes.
Step 3
Grill the skewers over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are nicely charred and tender.
Step 4
For a smoky flavor, heat a little oil in a small pan until it’s smoking hot, then carefully add it to the grill or coals to create a quick burst of smoke.
Step 5
Serve the skewers hot with your favorite sauce or chutney. Enjoy!
