Direction
1.       Wash chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut it in 1"  pieces. For best results, make sure that chicken is fully dry. Take all of the above mentioned ingredients (except chicken) in a bowl and mix well.
2.       Add chicken pieces and make sure to coat marinade all sides. Transfer all contents to zip lock bag and refrigerate for 3-4 hours (preferably overnight). So that chicken absorbs all flavour.
3.       Skewer chicken pieces and alternate with veggies, grill on charcoal until it's done. You can also use the oven (200 degrees C for 20-25 min or until its fully cooked. If you use an oven, make sure to turn skewers upside down halfway through cooking.
4.       Enjoy chicken tikka with the rice, salad and chutney.
