What do I need to make these Chicken Tandoori Kebabs?
This post contains affiliate links. Find out what this means.
To make these Chicken Tandoori Kebabs you’ll need some kebab skewers which you can pick up from Amazon.
These ones are particularly good as they are flat, and therefore easier to turn over as the meat won’t slip round (speaking from experience, I can assure you!)
If you choose to use the bamboo barbecue skewers just make sure to soak them in water for a while first to prevent them from burning in the barbecue or oven.
You can use your skewers to make one of our other kebab recipes, like this Chicken Kebab, which has been sooooo popular over on our Facebook Group!
You’ll need some Tandoori Spice mix for this recipe – they can vary in their nutritional values so make sure you check before you use. The Tesco Tandoori Curry Powder is Syn Free, and so is the East End Tandoori Masala Powder! You can pick them both up from the supermarket, or over on Amazon!
You can make these Chicken Tandoori Kebabs as spicy or mild as you like – just add extra chilli powder for more of a kick!
Can I freeze these Chicken Tandoori Kebabs?
This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
– Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough
– Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
– Defrost thoroughly before reheating.
Make sure it’s piping hot before serving!
How do I make these Chicken Tandoori Kebabs?
Step 1
Place all of the ingredients, except the chicken into a bowl and mix.
Step 2
Dice the chicken thighs into large chunks, ensuring that any visible fat or skin have been removed. Place into the yoghurt marinade, cover and chill in the fridge for 2-4 hours.
Step 3
Remove from the fridge. Place the chicken onto skewers (metal or bamboo, just remember to soak bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning).
Place onto a hot barbecue for around 30-35 minutes until the chicken has cooked through.
If you prefer to cook these in the oven, skewer the meat as above, and place into an oven preheated to 180ºC for 35-40 minutes until cooked through.
Step 4
Once cooked, serve with your choice of accompaniment!

I’ve bought natural yoghurt instead of the Greek natural yoghurt. Silly question, but will it still work? Thank you
Where did people buy the tandoori spice mix from? I’m struggling to find one. Thanks x
How can you stop the chicken tasting dry after?
Can you use fish with this recipe instead of chicken?
