Clean the chicken thoroughly and soak it in a mixture of water, salt, and vinegar for 20-25 minutes.

Wash the chicken under running water and drain.

In a bowl, mix ginger garlic paste, hung curd, coriander powder, Kashmir red chili powder, regular red chili powder, garam masala, black salt, cumin powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and salt.

Add Kasuri fenugreek, red food color, mustard oil, baking soda, lemon juice, and chaat masala to the mixture.

Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade and let it marinate for 1-2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.

Heat a pan and cook the marinated chicken on high flame for 5 minutes, then turn it over and cook on low flame for 15 minutes.

After cooking, place the chicken on a rack and roast it over an open flame until charred on all sides.

Melt butter and mix it with the cooked chicken.

Add smoke flavor by burning coal, adding oil or ghee, and covering for 5 minutes.

Serve with green chutney and sprinkle with lemon juice or prepare Malai Tikka by adding cream and butter.
