In this simple recipe, chicken breast pieces are marinated in a tangy mix of lemon, garlic and ginger paste along with hung curd and cream. The chicken chunks are then threaded on skewers, basted with butter and grilled to perfection until the juices run clear and chicken is cooked through. If you don’t have a tandoor, you can use a little barbecue or an oven for this recipe. In case you are using an oven, keep checking the tikkas after every 5 minutes, make sure they are a little charred but not over-cooked.

Murgh malai tikka is a great snack to prepare and bring some delicious twist to your evening snacks at home amid the lockdown.
