• Divide the mixture into two equal balls and stuff in the chicken slices. Fold it around to shape it like a kebab and seal it with toothpick.
• In another bowl, whip together hung curd, ginger & garlic paste, chilli paste, cashew paste, cream, turmeric, jeera powder, cardamom powder, garam masala, 1 tbsp oil and salt.
• Marinate the chicken kebabs in the curd paste for 30-40 minutes in refrigerator.
• Cook the kebabs in a preheated oven at 200 degree Celsius or in a tandoor for about 20 minutes or till light brown. Keep brushing butter in between to keep the kebabs moist and for even browning. Serve with garlic chutney.
