How to make Kasuri Malai Murgh Tikka Recipe
To begin making the Kasuri Malai Murgh Tikka, in a wok/kadhai, add more oil if needed and add all the whole spices and let them crackle.
Now add finely chopped onions and saute till raw smell goes off.Add finely chopped garlic and ginger and saute till golden.
Grind it into a smooth paste along with soaked cashew nuts and water. Transfer this to a mixing bowl.
Add chicken and marinate well, you can also add in the coriander powder, kasuri methi, turmeric, red chilli powder and salt.
Steam the cauliflower in a vegetable steamer and also add them into the marinade and mix well.
In a woodenskewer, thread chicken pieces, peppers, and cauliflower one after the other.
Arrange the wooden skewers in a hot grill and cook them for about 15 minutes, turning sides for every 5 minutes.
Brush the remaining marinate on top of the chicken while cooking. The chicken will leave water on the tray while cooking and this is expected.
Drizzle some oil over the top and keep turning and cook evenly on either side.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewer from the grill and cool down. Do not overcook as the chicken might become hard and lose its juiciness.
