Chef Inder Suryawanshi's Bold Chicken Tikka Skewers Recipe Revealed

A new recipe for Chicken Tikka Skewers has been shared by Chef Inder Suryawanshi, Executive Chef at JW Marriott on Clearwater Beach. The dish combines marinated grilled chicken with homemade Mint Chutney and a fresh Tri-Color Cabbage Slaw, offering a flavourful twist on a classic favourite.

The recipe starts with chicken pieces marinated in yogurt, spices, and lemon juice. For the best results, the marinade should sit for at least four hours, though leaving it overnight deepens the flavour.

Once marinated, the chicken is threaded onto pre-soaked wooden or metal skewers. It is then grilled until slightly charred before finishing in the oven to ensure thorough cooking.

Alongside the skewers, a vibrant Tri-Color Cabbage Slaw is prepared. This side dish blends red and green cabbage with carrot, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, honey, oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.

The dish is completed with a homemade Mint Chutney, made from fresh mint leaves, cilantro, green chilies, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, cumin powder, sugar, salt, and yogurt. Before serving, the skewers are garnished with microgreens, a lime wedge, and a light dusting of chaat masala.

Chef Suryawanshi also highlights the use of kasuri methi, a dried fenugreek herb from India. Though not part of this recipe, it is often used to enhance tomato-cream sauces in dishes like butter chicken, adding a distinct aroma and taste.

The Chicken Tikka Skewers recipe offers a mix of bold flavours and fresh sides. With marinated grilled chicken, zesty Mint Chutney, and a crunchy cabbage slaw, it brings a taste of Indian cuisine to the table. The dish is designed to be both flavourful and visually appealing.
