  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste<\/li>\n

  • Wooden or metal skewers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Prepare the Marinade:<\/strong>
      In a large bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, and chili powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Marinate the Chicken:<\/strong>
      Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Prepare the Skewers:<\/strong>
      If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Cook the Skewers:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Grill Method:<\/strong> Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.<\/li>\n
      • Oven Method:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F) and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. Broil for the last 2 minutes for a charred effect.<\/li>\n
      • Stovetop Method:<\/strong> Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the skewers on medium heat, turning them every few minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n

        Serve:<\/strong>
        Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with mint chutney, yogurt dip, or a side of salad.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
