Other Ingredients-
Piece of Charcoal (for infusing smoke to the chicken for a barbecue flavour)
Ghee or clarified butter melted- 1 tsp
Oil - 3 tbsp

Preparation:

To prepare the hung curd, strain the water from the curd or plain yogurt using a strainer or cloth to have a thick curd without any water. This may take 1.5 to 2 hrs, so plan accordingly. Please do check the video to understand the thickness.
For the chicken, you can use chicken tikka pieces or alternatively cut boneless chicken thighs and/or fillets into tikkas.
To prepare the Green Paste, chop coriander leaves, take out the mint leaves, peel ginger and garlic and cut the ginger and green chillies into pieces.
Add these into a blender/grinder jar and blend it coarsely. Now add around 2 tbsp water and blend it again. Shouldn’t be too thin or watery.
For marinating the chicken, add all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and mix it well. Now add all the chicken tikkas/pieces and mix it well to coat the pieces with the marinade.

Skewering:

Remove the steel bowl containing the piece of charcoal and mix the chicken tikkas once again before skewering.
Now skewer the marinated chicken tikkas on a kebab stick or small wooden skewer 3 at a time.
To skewer, fold each of the tikkas and then put in the skewer.
Repeat for all the skewers.

Process:

Heat oil in a pan or tawa and place the skewers side by side.
Fry on medium high heat for 3 mins till light brown and flip on the other side.
Fry again on the other side for 3 mins till light brown.
Now turn all the kebab sticks/ skewers on to the side, and continue roasting for 2 mins on medium heat.
Now flip on the other side and continue roasting for 2 mins on medium heat.
Keep frying on medium heat on all the sides for a total of another 5-6 mins, flipping every 2 mins till the kebabs are browned and cooked evenly.
Serve as an appetiser.
