Step 1

The key in making good chicken tikka is in its marination.

Step 2

Take all the ingredients of the marinade and mix to form a thick paste.

Step 3

Evenly coat chicken pieces with this marinade and keep for 4-6 hours or overnight for the flavours to get absorbed.

Step 4

Pre heat your airfryer at 160 C or 320 F for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Take skewers and put the chicken tikka pieces in. Baste with some butter/oil and Air fry at 160 C or 320 F for about 8 minutes. Next raise the temperature to 200 C or 390 F and air fry for about 6 minutes to get a lovely charred look.

Step 6

Preheat oven at 240 C or 460 F for 10 minutes. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange a grill tray on it. Line your tikka on skewers and bake for about 25-30 minutes till it is well cooked. You can do the same in a conventional grill.

Step 7

Serve hot with lemon slices, slices of onion and chaat masala. Enjoy
