Chicken Tikka

Though all over India it's very hot now a days, Bangalore is having Rain showering every evening. So it's very pleasant atmosphere here. "Barsat ki sham aur chicken tikka ho saath to kya bat hain? " This was my husband's dialogue . So I made it and sharing the recipe with you…….

Ingredients

Boneless chicken - 125 gms.
Brown Paste - 1/2 teaspoon
Garam Masala - 1/4 teaspoon
Oil - 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon Juice - 1/2 teaspoon
Vinegar - 1/4 teaspoon
Ginger paste - 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 3/4 teaspoon
Hanged curd - 1 tablespoon
Orange red colour - 1/8 teaspoon (optional)

Procedure

Brown Paste - Take 1 medium size onion and cut it in slices. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in kadai and saute onions till it becomes brown. Let it get cool. Make a thin paste of onion in mixer , it is called as brown paste.

Now mix all the ingredients except chicken and make a smooth marination . Add boneless chicken in it and mix well so that chicken will fully get coated with the marination. Keep it aside for 1-2 hours. Skewer the chicken pieces (with capsicum and onion cubes) on thick skewers, not too tightly or they will not cook well on all sides. Brush little oil on the marinated chicken pieces. Now keep skewer on the flame and cook it from all sides till it gets cooked properly. For typical tandoor smell you can brush with pure ghee in between. You can cook it in gas tandoor also. So garma garam tikkas are ready, serve it with pudina chutney and onion salad.
