About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb boneless chicken
- 4 tbsp cream
- 4 tbsp thick yogurt
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornflour
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp green coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp green chilies
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- 9 tbsp oil
Instructions
- 1Cut the 500 g boneless chicken into 1½‑inch cubes, rinse briefly, and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2In a large bowl whisk together 4 tbsp cream, 4 tbsp thick yogurt, 1 tbsp heaped ginger‑garlic paste, 1 tsp salt (to taste), 1 tsp cornflour, ½ tbsp black pepper powder, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp crushed coriander leaves, 2 tbsp crushed green chilies, ½ tsp garam masala powder, and 1 tbsp oil for marination until the mixture is smooth.
- 3Add the chicken cubes to the bowl, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer if time permits for deeper flavor).
- 4Preheat a wide skillet or pan over high heat. Add ½ tbsp butter and 9 tbsp oil, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
- 5Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Place the skewers in the hot pan and fry, turning frequently, until the exterior is nicely charred and the interior is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
- 6Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook for an additional 5 minutes so the pieces become tender and the sauce thickens.
- 7Increase the heat to high and cook uncovered until all liquid evaporates, then flip the skewers and fry for another 5–6 minutes to develop deeper grill marks and a smoky flavor.
- 8Remove from heat, garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired, and serve hot.
