Kebabs are said to be originated in Persia. It is called as kabab in Arabia and Kebab in Turkey.
Chicken tikka kebab is an Indian version of Shish kebab.
Tikka means small pieces or chunks.
Chunks of meat or vegetables are grilled along with masla.
Here goes the recipe. Click to see my youtube video on 'how to make chicken tikka kebab' in Tamil with ingredients typed in English.







Ingredients:

(For Tikka)
Boneless chicken - 2 lb (1 kg)
Maida (AP flour ) - 1/2 cup
salt - 2 tsp
Pink salt - 1 tsp
thick Indian yogurt - 1/2 cup
Peanut oil - 2 tbsp 
Apple cider vinegar - 1 tbsp
turmeric - 1 tsp
ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
garam masala powder - 1 tbsp
red chilly powder - 1.5 tsp
cumin powder - 1 tsp
ginger garlic paste - 3 tsp

Method:
Wash and clean the meat. Cut chicken into 1.5 inch size cubes.
Blend the masalas listed under Tikka together in a mixing bowl.
Keep the chicken pieces marinated in that masala for 2 hours (room temp.) or overnight inside the refrigerator.

Soak the bamboo skewers in water more than 1 hour.

Cut 2 colorful bellpeppers. 

Thread the pieces of meat and bell pepper in the skewer with a little spacing. Bake them in oven at 425 F for 15 mins one side. Then flip and bake for 10 mins. Then broil it both sides.
(Instead the pieces can be grilled or deep fried also).

Take out and remove from skewers. Keep aside.

Chicken tikka is ready!

We can serve them simply as a snack or side dish or stuffing inside chapati rolls.
