Mughlai Cuisine is one of our family favorite. Whether it's a Biryani, Korma or Kabab we love them all. Whenever we go to a restaurant or any guest visits our home one of our all time favorite appetizer/starter is Tandoori Chicken. I have already shared the recipe of Tandoori Chicken on my blog. You may check it out here (click here)

Today in this blog post I'm going to share another delicacy of Mughlai Cuisine and i.e. Chicken Malai Tikka. Chicken Malai Tikka is one of those exotic dishes that you can make when you want to have a fancy dinner or want to impress your family members. These succulent and fragrant chicken pieces just melts in your mouth and taste heavenly.

These Kababs serve as a great appetizer and a complete party pleaser too. If some guests are visiting your place you can do the prep work beforehand and pop them into the oven before serving.

So without much further rambling let's begin with the recipe.
