Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb chicken
- 0.85 cup yoghurt
- 4 garlic
- 0.88 oz ginger
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 0.63 cup double cream
- 0.35 oz coriander
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, mix together the yoghurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
- 2Add the lemon juice to the bowl and stir to incorporate.
- 3Spoon half of the marinade into a saucepan and set aside for later use.
- 4Add the chicken pieces to the remaining marinade in the bowl, making sure they are fully coated.
- 5Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.
- 6Preheat a grill, oven, or air fryer to cook the chicken. If using a grill or oven, preheat to medium-high heat (around 392°F). If using an air fryer, preheat to 392°F.
- 7Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto 4 skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
- 8Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9Cook the chicken skewers until they are golden brown and cooked through, which should take around 15-20 minutes, depending on the cooking method.
- 10While the chicken is cooking, heat the reserved marinade in the saucepan over medium heat.
- 11Add the tomato paste to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste is fragrant.
- 12Pour in the double cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened slightly, which should take around 5 minutes.
- 13Stir in the chopped coriander and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- 14Once the chicken is cooked, serve the kebabs with the creamy tikka sauce spooned over the top. You can serve with rice, naan bread, or any other sides you prefer.
