Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry your clean chicken breasts and cut into approx 1 ½ inch thick cubes. Keep aside.
- In a mixing bowl combine all the above mentioned ingredients starting with the fresh Coriander leafs and ending with the yogurt. Mix it to a smooth marination.
- Place your chicken into the marination and massage it with your hands into the chicken. Keep to rest aside minimum for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours and just before cooking preheat your oven to 220 Celsius.
- In a bowl add some butter and chopped Garlic and heat up and melt the butter. The garlic flavors will infuse into the melted butter. Keep aside.
- Grab your wooden skewers and wet them before you start adding your marinated chicken cubes. Add all the chicken cubes on the skewers, about 6 cubes on each skewer.
- Place them into the preheated very hot oven and cook them first for 5 minutes, then turn the skewers and bake for another 5 minutes or until you can see that they are getting dry in the oven. Take them out and brush them with a good load of melted butter garlic on all sides.
- Place them back into the oven and cook for another 5 minutes and then turn the tikkas again and allow them to cook for another 5 minutes. If they are getting too dry at this point, take out again and repeat your butter brushing and place them again back into the oven for another last 5 minutes.
- All together it takes about 20-25 minutes to bake the tikkas and if the color turns a bit blackish at some parts that's when they are ready. Nurture your meat with garlic butter to keep them moist inside. A tandoor cook uses a tandoori oven which is way hotter, so the chicken is kept for about 15 minutes in the oven, but in a home oven you ll need at least 20 minutes to get it right since the heat and environment is different. Enjoy!
