Preparation

Blend the yogurt with a whisk then add all the other marinade ingredients. Mix well. Add the chicken fillets and ensure that they get well covered with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat a oven to 180°C (fan forced to 160°C). Place a couple of smouldering charcoal pieces on a metal plate at the bottom of the oven (to give smoky flavour). Place the chicken fillets on a rack with drip tray underneath and slide onto the middle shelf of the oven.

Cook for 15 minutes, then brown under top heat for 5 minutes on either side. Place chicken tikkas in a bowl and sprinkle with chat masala and lemon juice. Serve on a warm plate, garnished with onion rings and fresh coriander.
