To start your culinary adventure, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 cup plain yogurt

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

• 1 tablespoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

• 1 tablespoon cumin powder

• 1 tablespoon coriander powder

• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder 

• 1 teaspoon garam masala

• Salt to taste

• 2 tablespoons oil

• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

• Lemon wedges for serving

Marination Magic:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and oil. This magical concoction is what will infuse your chicken with irresistible flavor.

2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Then cover the bowl with cling film and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it becomes—just like a fine wine, but better!

Grilling Goodness:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, don't fret! You can also use a grill pan or even bake the chicken in the oven.

2. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

3. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they're cooked through and beautifully charred on the outside. Pro tip: If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked, just cut into the thickest piece—if it's no longer pink and the juices run clear, it's ready to devour!

Serve with Style:

Once your Tandoori Chicken Tikka is cooked to perfection, it's time to serve it up in style. Sprinkle some fresh coriander leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness, and don't forget the lemon wedges for that extra zing. Pair it with some naan bread, rice, or salad for a complete meal that'll have everyone coming back for seconds.
