Notes

  • Marination plays a very important role in this recipe, The longer your marinate the better it taste. So try to marinate it atleast for 2 hours in the refrigerator before cooking them.
  • Lemon and Curd in the marination makes the chicken juicy and tender so its these two ingredients are important in this recipe.
  • To get the smoky tandoor flavour, You may keep a burnt coal in between the kabab, pour a tsp of ghee over it and cover it for 5 mins. It will give you the same smoky flavour as the tandoor
  • It can be grilled on Open flame, Grill tawa, Tandoor or in the Microwave/OT
  • Grease it with Butter while grilling to get the perfect tandoor flavour and color.
