Method :
Wash chicken thoroughly
and cut into medium pieces and mix well with salt and lemon juice .. Then
keep this chicken in a strainer and allow the excess water to drain out .. Same
time put curd in a muslin cloth and squeeze excess water and keep aside.. After
30 minutes take chicken out and still u feel there is excess water in the
pieces wipe chicken pieces with kitchen towel .. Mix cumin powder,chilli
powder, coriander powder (opt)garam masala ,ginger-garlic paste ,kasuri methi and blend into a fine paste . Then
add this curd and mix well.. Add this paste to the chicken pieces and mix
well ..Check the salt .. Add if needed. Keep it in the fridge at least for 3
hours ..Preferably overnight .. Preheat oven at 200 degree for 15 minutes ..
Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for about 30 minutes .. Then insert chicken
in the skewer ..Brush butter or oil on top of the chicken pieces .. Bake each
side about 10 minutes ,brushing oil in between 5 minutes interval .. U can see
brown spots here and there .. Then take one piece and cut in the middle and
check whether the chicken is cooked well or not ..If not cook for another few
minutes doing the same thing … Don’t overcook them ,then chicken will get hard
and it wont taste good.. And those who don’t oven don’t worry u can also make
chicken tikka . For that take a deep bottomed kadai , add oil and heat . Then
place the chicken and cook in medium flame by covering the kadai .. Check in
between u can see plenty of water coming out from the chicken .. Let the
chicken cook well in that water .. When u see there is very less amount of
water left then open the lid and fry the pieces . Check the chicken … Chicken
should be well cooked and juicy .. Fry till u can see brown spots So tasty and
easy chicken tikka is ready to serve .. Serve with lemon wedges ,puthina
chutney and onion rings .
