Certainly! Tandoori Chicken Kabab is a popular and delicious Indian dish. Here's a simple recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

1 kg chicken (cut into pieces)

1 cup thick yogurt

2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

2 tablespoons Tandoori masala

1 tablespoon red chili powder

1 tablespoon jeera powder

1 tablespoon garam masala

1 tablespoon methi powder

1 tablespoon cumin powder

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons mustard oil

Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

Marination:

In a large bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, Tandoori masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, salt, and vegetable oil to form a smooth marinade.

Prepare Chicken:

Clean and pat dry the chicken pieces.

Make deep cuts in the chicken pieces, ensuring the marinade can penetrate well.

Marinate Chicken:

Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. This helps the flavors to infuse into the chicken.

Preheat the Oven or Grill:

If using an oven, preheat it to 200°C (392°F). If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.

Skewering:

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. You can also add bell peppers and onions between the chicken pieces for added flavor.

Cooking:

Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked, turning the skewers occasionally for even cooking. The chicken should have a nice char on the outside.

Garnish:

Garnish the Tandoori Chicken Kababs with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve:

Serve hot with naan, rice, or your favorite chutney. Squeeze some lemon juice over the kababs before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
