It’s not just soft—it’s succulent, subtly spiced, and unforgettable. Here’s why this lesser-hyped hero is a must-try for every first-time guest and seasoned foodie alike.

What Is Chicken Malai Tikka?
Malai Tikka translates to “cream marinated” chicken. Unlike spicier kebabs, this version is all about richness and texture. Boneless chicken chunks are marinated in a blend of:
- Cream (malai)
- Yoghurt
- Cheese
- White pepper
- Cardamom
They are then skewered and roasted in a tandoor until the exterior is lightly golden but the inside remains juicy.
Why Ours Stands Out
At Tunday Kababi, our Malai Tikka isn’t rushed. The marination is done overnight, allowing every fiber of the chicken to soak in creaminess. We use:
- Only fresh, hand-trimmed chicken
- No food colouring or artificial flavouring
- Traditional charcoal grill for that perfect char
The result? A bite so tender, you’ll barely need to chew.
How We Marinate for Maximum Creaminess
The secret lies in balance. Too much cream, and the marinade slips off. Too little, and the texture suffers. We strike that balance by blending:
- Hung curd for tang
- Fresh cream for richness
- Cheese for structure
- Mild spice for warmth
Once skewered, it’s grilled on open fire to caramelise the outer edges while locking in moisture. No dryness. No chewiness. Just smooth, savoury satisfaction.
The Perfect Pairings
While the Chicken Malai Tikka shines on its own, you can elevate your experience with:
- Roomali Roti – Soft wrap to complement the creaminess
- Mint chutney & lime – For a hit of brightness
- Cold Coffee or Sweet Lassi – To cool the palate
For a full meal, add Chicken Biryani or a bread basket to round things out.
