Method:
- First prepare the hung curd which is used in the second marinade. By using curd as it is, water tends to ooze out while grilling.

- Wash the chicken thoroughly and cut into cubes, medium size. You can use bell peppers and onions as well that is cut into cubes. This is totally your choice.
- Marinate the chicken with the first marinade by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

- Put the chicken on a skewer along with bell peppers and onions. Arrange them the way you like. Remember to soak the bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent the skewer from getting burnt.
- Brush oil on the chicken and also to the grate or grilling plate, whatever you are using for grilling to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Preheat the oven at 400 F and grill the chicken tikka for 30 minutes; 15 minutes on each side.
