Next blend in the greek yogurt to this mixture and whisk some more. Add the green chilly paste, the remaining ginger garlic paste and garam masala and pepper. If you don’t want the tikka to be very spicy then skip the garam maslaa and green chilly paste.
- Now add the chicken pieces to this marinade and make sure they are coated well. Let it rest for half an hour. Pre heat the oven to 180 degress. Line a tray with a silver foil and spread some oil or ghee on it. Place the chicken on this tray, you can skewer them too. The chicken should be ready in ten to fifteen minutes. But remember to turn them at least twice and bast them with butter.
- Eat them hot and sprinkle some lemon juice and chaat masala over them. You can marinate a bigger batch and cook them at your convenience, over a period of few days.
