Marinate the Chicken
Bake the Kebabs
Garnish and Serve
Add 3 tbsp of fresh cream and 1/4 tsp of white pepper powder to the second marinade for a richer, milder, and creamier kebab.
Finely chop 1-2 green chilies and add them to the second marinade for an extra kick of heat.
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping and basting with butter halfway through, until cooked and golden.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with butter, until cooked through with nice char marks.
Chicken is a high-quality lean protein, crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
The use of hung curd (yogurt) introduces beneficial probiotics into your diet, which promote a healthy gut microbiome, aid digestion, and improve nutrient absorption.
Chicken provides important minerals like phosphorus and calcium for bone health, and selenium, which has antioxidant properties.
The marinade is packed with spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help strengthen the immune system.
A serving of two Tangdi Kebabs (approximately 220g) contains around 380-450 calories, depending on the size of the drumsticks and whether the skin is left on.
Tangdi Kebab can be a healthy choice as it's a great source of protein. Since it's baked or grilled rather than fried, it's lower in fat. To make it healthier, use skinless chicken and low-fat Greek yogurt.
Absolutely! You can cook Tangdi Kebab on a stovetop grill pan over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. You can also cook them on an outdoor barbecue grill for the best smoky flavor.
The most common reason for a watery marinade is using regular yogurt instead of hung curd or thick Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt has a high water content that is released during marination. Always strain your yogurt to remove excess whey.
Yes, this marinade works wonderfully with chicken thighs or breast pieces. Cut them into large, 2-inch chunks (for tikka) and adjust the cooking time. Boneless chicken will cook faster, typically in 15-20 minutes.
Roasted besan (gram flour) acts as a binding agent. It helps the thick marinade cling to the chicken and prevents it from sliding off during cooking. It also adds a nutty, earthy flavor.
