Malai Boti Skewers

Recipe by Vimarsh Patel on InstagramAdded 10 November 2026.

20 minutes to prep, 14 to cook. These Malai Boti Skewers are a high‑protein, creamy‑spiced Asian‑inspired dish. The yogurt‑based marinade keeps the chicken tender and juicy, while the air‑fryer adds a lightly charred finish perfect for meal prep or a quick dinner.

Method

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite‑size pieces.

  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken with plain yogurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, cream, chopped green chillies, and butter; marinate for at least one hour.

  3. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.

  4. Air‑fry the skewers at 380°F (375°F) for 14 minutes, turning halfway through.

  5. Remove the skewers, let them cool slightly, and serve.

Tips while you cook

Marinate longer for tenderness
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour before threading onto skewers.
Turn halfway for even cooking
Flip the skewers halfway through the 14‑minute air‑fry time.
Cool slightly before serving
Let the skewers rest for a few minutes after cooking to make handling easier.
