Method
Mix the ingredients of the first marinade. Add to the chicken and rub it into the pieces. Let the chicken marinate for 2-3 hours.
For the second marinade, mix the ingredients in the order listed and mix well to form a smooth, creamy paste. The paan paste will lend a lovely golden colour to the marinade. Add the marinated chicken and let it marinate for another 1-2 hours.
Skewer the chicken pieces and put them in a tandoor or grill over a barbeque for 15-20 minutes. If you are using a microwave oven or an OTG, grill for 10-12 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. When done, take the kebabs off the skewer and lightly brush with melted butter. Serve hot.
