Super easy to make and very tempting, these homemade tikkas are so good that it just melt-in-your-mouth and you cant stopsyourself by licking your fingers.

My original plan was to cook tikkas over the grill outdoor but plan was ruined, so I had to do the grilling indoor in my oven.

What actually MURGH MALAI TIKKA MEANS
"Murgh" means cubed pieces of chicken, "Malai" means cream and "tikka" means pieces of chicken or meat marinated in a spicy mix.
Homemade marinated, yogurt and cream help to balance out the heat from the spice mix .

So here comes the steps how to make MURGH MALAI TIKKA?
Marination is done in two steps.

Step one- to tenderize the chicken add lemon juice and salt
Second step- add all the spices, yogurt, cream, fresh corriander and mix it well. This is the main marination.
