Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 100 grams Greek yogurt (thick)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 pieces Green chilies (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 6 pieces Skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or ghee (for basting)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, chopped green chilies, lemon juice, cilantro, mint, red chili powder, ground cumin, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to form a thick marinade.
Add the chicken chunks to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor absorption.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or oven broiler to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates or pan with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill or pan and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slightly charred exterior.
Baste the chicken with butter or ghee during cooking to enhance flavor and keep the kebabs moist.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with mint chutney, sliced onions, and lemon wedges.
