Instructions
- [For
- Servings/Ingredients] 250g boneless chicken thigh,
- tbsp heavy cream,
- tbsp grated processed cheese,
- tbsp cashew paste,
- tbsp yogurt,
- tsp garlic-ginger paste, 1/
- tsp white pepper, cardamom powder/salt to taste,
- tbsp butter (for baking), 1/
- lemon.
- Dunk bite-sized chicken heavily into rich white marinade mixing heavy cream, grated cheese, cashew paste, strained yogurt. Flavor effectively with 'white pepper' and noble 'cardamom powder' instead of red chilies, resting for hours letting milky umami penetrate deep into meat fibers.
- Skewer white chicken stickily coated with marinade seamlessly on long iron skewers (Seekh).
- Span skewers over horizontal charcoal roaster (or Tandoor) on stall street, baking slowly while smoking.
- When surface cheese/cream bubbles boilingly and fragrant black chars form, generously brush melted butter using a brush, roasting a few more seconds popping oil. Remove from skewer, lightly sprinkle Chaat Masala, serve with sliced onions/mint chutney. Lacking red spice stimulation, chicken juiciness and rich milk fat depth punch the brain straight—a premium kebab.

Trivia
[Hardcore] A mild, super-rich menu overturning the 'spicy Indian food' image. An elegant taste supposedly loved by Mughal royals; using absolutely no red chilies makes it hugely popular with children and foreign tourists disliking spicy foods. The spicy secret hint of white pepper tightens the flavor profile.
