Malai chicken skewers are a popular Indian appetizer made with tender pieces of chicken marinated in a mixture of yogurt, cream, and aromatic spices. The chicken is then skewered and grilled to perfection, resulting in juicy and flavorful bites that are perfect for sharing with friends and family.
To make malai chicken skewers, start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, cream, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and a blend of spices such as coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once the chicken has marinated, thread the pieces onto skewers, and grill them over medium-high heat until they are cooked through and lightly charred on the outside. Alternatively, you can bake the skewers in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Serve the malai chicken skewers hot with a side of mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce. These skewers are perfect as an appetizer or snack, and they also make a delicious addition to any Indian-inspired meal.
