Instructions:

Check out the Recipe for Chicken Kabab Marinade

Check the chicken for any excess moisture and ensure it is fully drained.
In a mixing dish, thoroughly combine all of the masala ingredients.
In the marinade, make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning. Ensure each piece of chicken is thoroughly marinated.
Cover the chicken completely and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. This resting period helps tenderize the chicken and allows it to absorb flavors more effectively.
Alternatively, thread the marinated chicken and onions onto the skewers. Soak wooden skewers in water before using them.

Making a Chicken Kebab

Preheat the oven to 240°C and let it preheat for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Place the chicken kebabs on a baking tray and bake them for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, flip the kebabs to the other side and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
Move the tray to the top rack of the oven or switch to broil mode for the final 5 minutes of cooking. If desired, you can spread some butter or oil over the kebabs at this point.
If you don’t have a grill at home, then take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat, round kebab.
Heat a tawa or a flat pan over medium heat and drizzle some oil onto it.
Place the shaped kebabs on the heated tawa and cook them until they are cooked through and turn golden brown.
While cooking, you can brush some oil on the kebabs to keep them moist and prevent sticking.
Once the kebabs are cooked and have a nice crust on the outside, remove them from the tawa and place them on a serving plate or on skewers.
Serve the chicken kebabs hot, accompanied by mint and coriander chutney. Alternatively, if you're looking for a spicy kick, Schezwan chutney can fulfill your cravings!

Cut the chicken into equal-sized pieces for consistent grilling and browning.
Adjust the spice amounts to your preference. The recipe is for mildly spicy chicken kebabs. The crucial element in tenderizing the chicken is yogurt. Tandoori masala can also be substituted for garam masala. Adjust the amount to your preference.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight. This extended marination time allows the flavors of the chicken kabab masala to penetrate the meat.
Don't shy away from experimenting with spices. Add a dash of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves to add depth and complexity to the marinade.
Customize the spice level according to your taste preferences, creating a flavor profile that is uniquely yours.
Yogurt is a secret weapon for tenderizing the chicken and infusing it with a creamy richness. Make sure to use thick and tangy yogurt in your marinade. Greek yogurt works wonders in creating a luscious texture while imparting a delightful tanginess to your kababs.
Achieve a harmonious balance of flavors by mixing different spices in your chicken kabab masala.
Grill enough so that it adds that coveted smoky flavor and charred texture to your kababs.
