Haryali Chicken Tikka or Try Paneer

I tried this recipe mainly because I was curious as to how the broil feature of the oven works.. lucky for me that this turned out well :). For the vegetarians out there, they can try using Paneer instead of chicken.


Ingredients
Chicken breasts - 400 gm
Curd - 1/4 cup
Salt
Lemon - 1 small
Red chilly powder
Turmeric powder
Green chillies
Coriander leaves
Mint leaves
Curry leaves
Garlic
Ginger
Olive oil

Process
  1. Clean the chicken and chop into cubes.

  2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Note:Remember to keep the top most rack of oven approx. 6 inches from the top of oven.
  3. Roughly chop the coriander, mint and curry leaves. Also chop the green chillies, ginger and garlic. Grind all these into a fine paste.

  4. Add the above paste to chicken. Also add the salt, turmeric and red chilly powder and lemon juice mix it in well. Leave out lemon juice if you don't want the tangy or sour taste to your chicken.

  5. Add the curd to the chicken and blend it well. Mix in 3-4 drops of olive oil (or any other cooking oil).

  6. Let this sit for at least an hour in refrigerator.
  7. Put the oven in broil and the place the chicken inside the oven in a baking vessel. The food cooks fast in broil option, so watch the it. This should be done in 10-15 mins. You can use the skewers if you have them. Note: Remember to line the baking dish with an aluminum foil to make cleaning easier later on ;)
  8. For even charring of chicken flip after 10 mins and cook for another 5 mins or so.
  9. Take out and enjoy :)
