Method
Combine the chicken thigh pieces, hung curd, grated cheese, chopped coriander leaves, ginger‑garlic paste, and salt in a large bowl; mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat the air‑fryer to 350°F (350°F). Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Arrange the skewers in the air‑fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the skewers, let the tikka rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot as a starter or with chutney.
