Hariyali Chicken Tikka


Ingredients:
Chicken breast – 750 grams (cut into cubes)
Coriander Leaves - 20 sprigs (tender)
Mint Leaves– from 15 sprigs
Green Chilies – 3 (medium)
Dry Fenugreek Leaves (Kasoori Methi) – 1 teaspoon
Yogurt – 3 teaspoons
Garlic (jumbo size) – 1 clove (finely minced)
Fresh Ginger – 1 inch (finely minced)
Salt - per needed taste
Cooking Oil for frying and basting
Metal Skewers

Method:
Let’s marinate first:
Heat one teaspoon of oil in a small frying utensil.
To the oil, add the mint leaves.
Fry for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from burner and allow it to cool.
In a blender, add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chilies, curd, and grind them into a paste. (If required, add little water)
Mix the chicken pieces, grinded paste, minced garlic and ginger, salt, and kasoori methi in a bowl.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, preferably eight hours (I marinated it overnight).

Time for tandoor:
Pre-heat the oven at 425 Fahrenheit.
Apply a layer of oil on to the skewers.
Insert the chicken pieces on the skewers.
Place the skewers on a baking tray.
Baste the chicken pieces with oil.
Keep the baking tray in the oven.
Let it go on in the oven for 15 minutes.
Then, turn the skewers upside down.
Another 15 minutes… or until cooked.
Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees.
Bake for 5 more minutes to get that brown texture.
Note: It took me 35 minutes to cook this dish and it took 5 minutes to get the brown texture.
Remove from skewer and serve with shredded onions or any kind of green chutney.
