Wash and pat dry Chicken and mix with lemon juice, Garlic Paste, Salt, and crushed black pepper, and leave it for 15 minutes.
Now grate the processed cheese and mix the cheese with hung curd and fresh cream to make a smooth paste.
Add Nutmeg Powder, Green Cardamom Powder, and chopped green chiles to the mixture.
Marinate the Chicken cubes with the cheese-cream-curd mixture and cover the bowl with a cling film and refrigerate it overnight or at least for 8 hours.
Attach the chicken chunks to the skewer and give a gap of 2 inches in between the chicken pieces.
Properly coat the chicken chunks with the marinade.
Pre-heat the oven to 240 degrees C for 115 minutes and start grilling at 180 degrees C for 30 minutes.
Brush the chickens with the remaining marinade and again grill for 10 more minutes or till you find the chickens grilled perfectly.
Melt the Ghee and brush the Chicken Malai Kebab with Butter and grill for another 5 minutes at 200 degrees C.
Switch the oven off and open the door slightly to let air pass, and leave the Murg Malai Kebab there for 10 more minutes.
Serve Chicken Malai Kebab with Cheese with a side of Green Chutney and Onion with a dash of lemon juice.
Notes
Adding Ghee is optional, but gives amazing burning flavor to the chicken Malai Kebab
