- 3 Cloves Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Kashmiri Chili Powder

Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 2-3 cm (~1 inch) cubes.

- Peel the garlic and mash it into a paste, adding a pinch of salt to help.
- Peel and grate the ginger, then mix it with all other marinade ingredients.
- Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours, ideally up to 24 hours.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for half an hour before cooking.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
- Preheat the grill to its hottest setting.
- Cook the kebabs under the grill for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 73°C or 165°F.
- For air frying, cook at 200°C or 400°F for 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For oven cooking, preheat to 220°C or 450°F and cook for 15-20 minutes, checking the internal temperature.
- If BBQing, ensure direct and indirect heat. Sear kebabs for 1-2 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat until they reach 73°C or 165°F.
Notes
Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavors. Adjust spice levels as desired.
