Directions

1. Step

Finely chop the cabbage, onion, and chicken thigh meat. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and cooking wine. Mix well until evenly coated.

2. Step

Heat some cooking oil in a pan. Shape the chicken mixture into small balls and place them in the pan. Add a little water, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Thread the chicken balls onto wooden skewers (optional).

3. Step

In a bowl, combine yogurt, cornstarch (or extra yogurt), curry powder, chili powder (or paprika), lemon juice, and cooking oil. Mix well until smooth.

4. Step

Evenly spread the tandoori sauce over the chicken skewers using a spatula. Arrange them on a grill pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (446°F) for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden and slightly charred.
