Hariyali Chicken Tikka Recipe

Recipe Description

Hariyali chicken tikka is one of the most famous Indian kabab dishes generally served in almost every Indian restaurant. Boneless chicken pieces are marinated in a mixture of curd, coriander leaves, and mint leaves and grilled in the oven or frying in a nonstick pan. The flavours and fragrance of rich green vegetables inculcate the aroma in this kabab dish. In hindi hariyali means, greenery/green and hariyali chicken kabab mean chicken kabab with green paste.

I must say that this hariyali chicken tikka turned out awesome when I made it with proper ingredients. My whole family enjoyed it with spicy coriander chutney and curd raita. A must-try for all the chicken tikka lovers. This legendary dish is easy to make.

The secret lies in the marinate chicken rubbed with a paste made from crushed coriander and mint. Chicken legs may also be used. This recipe can be cooked in the frying pan or under the grill. The colour, taste, and flavor are out of this world.

This hariyali chicken tikka is a mouthwatering appetizer which is quite popular in north India and is best enjoyed with some exotic dips. Easy to prepare at home, this recipe would be loved by everyone in your house. The tikka version of hariyali chicken is great as a starter or a protein side with biriyani or any other Indian curry.

If you don’t have time for skewering, you can simply cook your boneless tikka on a pan over high heat until the water dries and tikkas are a little charred here and there.
