Recipe

• Wash and flatten the chicken pieces slightly with the flat of the knife. 
• Put chicken, curd, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and ginger garlic paste in a bowl and mix with your hand.
• Coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl and keep in fridge for an hour. 
• ( Ginger Garlic paste can be made with 1 inch garlic piece and 10 garlic cloves in a grinder)
• Now heat mustard oil in a nonstick pan and bring to its smoking point. 
• Now fry the marinated chicken pieces on medium flame till light brown. 
• Take off the pan. 
• Put the chicken on skewers, with alternating pieces of onions. 
• Now remove all the oil from this pan, and place the skewers. 
• Put in the chicken masala and grill the chicken on all sides, till brown and feel crisp.
• Plate the grilled chicken on skewers (or without them) on a tray and squeeze a lemon on them. 
• Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with green coriander or mint chutney.
• Note : Instead of frying first, you can directly grill on the skewers or without them. Tastes the same, just takes a little more time to cook.
