- 1 can Soya chaap
- ¼ cup Thick plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Cumin powder
- 1 Tbsp Coriander powder
- 1 tablespoon Fennel powder
- ½ tablespoon Dry Mango Powder
- 2 tablespoon Garam masala powder
- 2 tablespoon Dry fenugreek leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon Oil (Plus little more to brush the grilled pan)
- 3 tablespoon Ghee (to brush on the tikka when cooking)
Take the soya chaap out of the can and place it in a mixing bowl. Pour hot water and leave aside for few minutes.
In the meantime, make the marination. In a mixing bowl add the yogurt followed by all the spices, salt, sugar and oil.
Whisk to make it a smooth consistency
Take the soya chaap out of the hot water and pull the popsicle sticks out of it. Then slice the soya chaap in to small bite size.
Add the bite size to the yogurt mixture and mix everything nicely. Make sure the soya chaap is covered in the marination. Cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours. Allowing the soya chaap to marinate for a longer time ensures that the flavors penetrate deep into the pieces, resulting in a more flavorful tikka. When you are ready to grill, prep the skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, soak it in water for 30 minutes. This will ensure that the skewers don't get burnt.
After 30 minutes of soaking the skewers, take the soya chaap out and skew the pieces to the skewers.
Heat the grill pan and brush a little oil.
Layer the skewers and let it cook for 5 minutes on each side. Brush ghee as it grills on the pan. Regularly basting the tikka with oil or butter while grilling keeps it moist and prevents it from drying out. Serve the Soya Chaap tikki while it's hot.
