Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, tandoori masala, ginger paste, garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well. Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Prepare Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking. If you're using metal skewers, they are ready to use.

Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
