Ingredients

Since this is not a traditional recipe, it has many versions and is pretty versatile. There are three factors for the best chicken malai tikka.

1

Wash and pat dry chicken cubes. (If using chicken breast, wash and pat dry chicken breast first and then cut into 1-inch cubes.)

2

1Add the first set of ingredients and mix well. ( The tenderizer needs at least 45 minutes to work so the idea is to apply the tenderizer and available spice as soon as possible to save time.)

3

1. Then I assembled the remaining ingredients that needed chopping. I mixed it with yogurt, cream cheese, and cream.

4

And added this marinade also to the chicken. (Actually, you can mix all ingredients of the marinade together and apply in one go, I separate steps only to save time.)

5

Mix well and marinate chicken for a total of 45 minutes at least or 2 hours preferably. You can marinate up to12 hours ahead and store it in the fridge.

6

1. Thread the chicken on the wooden skewers. ( Instruction for barbecue and baking are above in FAQ section.)

7

 Fry chicken malai tikka skewers in a nonstick pan. Heat oil and place the tikka skewer in the oil.. Cook on high heat until water dries and tikka are lightly golden.
