🔥 Easy Pan-Grilled Chicken Kebab 🍢 | Juicy, Spicy & Ready in Minutes!

📝 Ingredients:

• 250g boneless chicken (cut into medium cubes)
• 2 tbsp thick curd (hung curd preferred)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp red chili powder (or Kashmiri chili for less heat)
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
• 1 tbsp oil (for marinade)
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp oil or ghee (for grilling)
• Optional: diced onion and capsicum cubes (for skewering)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   In a bowl, mix curd, lemon juice, spices, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and oil. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours (overnight for best results).
2. Pan Grill It:
   Heat a nonstick or cast iron pan. Add a bit of oil or ghee. Place marinated chicken pieces (and veggies if using) on the hot pan.
   Cook on medium heat for 4–5 mins per side, flipping occasionally until charred and fully cooked.
3. Serve Hot:
   Sprinkle with chaat masala or lemon juice. Serve with mint chutney and onion rings.

💡 Tips:

• You can skewer the chicken using wooden sticks (soak in water first) for presentation.
• Use Greek yogurt or thick homemade curd to avoid watery marinade.
• For a smoky flavor, briefly smoke using the dhungar method with a hot coal and ghee (optional).
