Ramadan Special - These are delectable small bites of homemade Hariyali Chicken Tikka, restaurant style, which are absolutely simple to make. Boneless chicken cubes are used here which are grilled to perfection. To give a smoky flavour, I fire grilled on the stove top.

These can be served as appetizers or can be rolled in chapattis / parathas along with some sliced onion and chutney for a wholesome snack.

Steps

1

Marinate the chicken with salt, ginger-garlic paste, pepper powder, oil, cumin powder and lime zest for an hour.
2

Make a paste of the coriander leaves, mint leaves, spring onion, green chilies, salt and cheese with very little water. Marinade the chicken with this green paste for 7-8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
3

Grease the wooden skewers and the grill rack and thread the chicken cubes.
4

Grill in the microwave in the convection mode for 30-35 minutes by flipping it halfway and basting with the leftover marinade. Let it remain in the microwave for 10 minutes.
5

To give a smokey flavour, place the skewers on a steel wire mesh and fire grill on a direct flame on the stove top till it is slightly charred.
6

Serve them hot with any chutney and salad of your choice.
