Marinade

For Grilling

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, almond paste, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, ensure they are clean and ready to use.

  2. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed closely but not too tight.

  3. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 6

    Grill the Kebabs

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Badami Chicken Kebabs with mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
