Murg Malai Tikka 

Gurjyote Singh Sethi Darpan, 10 Nov, 2023
  • Murg Malai Tikka 

Ingredients:

First Marinade

1 LB Chicken Thighs, skinless, boneless

1 tbsp Lemon Juice

 Salt to taste

Second Marinade

3 tsp Cashew Paste

¼ tsp Green Cardamom powder

1 tbsp Garlic paste

1 tbsp Ginger paste

1 Crushed green chillies

1 tsp Cumin powder

2 tsp Garam Masala 

Salt to taste

¼ cup Greek Yoghurt 

¼ cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp Chopped cilantro leaves

3 tbsp whipping Cream

½ cup melted butter 

Lemon for garnish 

Procedure:

Begin by cleaning, rinsing, and cutting the chicken into cubes.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken with lemon juice and salt, ensuring a thorough mix. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Grate the cheese and combine it with the rest of the ingredients to create a smooth marinade.

Add the chicken to this mixture and rub the marinade onto the chicken pieces. Let the chicken marinate in this mixture for 5-6 hours, or for even better results, marinate it overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and thread the pieces onto skewers, evenly distributing them among six skewers.

Cook the skewers in the oven for 10-15 minutes, turning them once in between to ensure they are cooked through.

Once done, remove the skewers from the oven and generously brush them with butter.

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and serve them hot, accompanied by Mint Chutney.

Optionally, pickle some onions according to your preference to serve alongside.
