Once the paste is ready, add hung curd in a big size mixing bowl, followed by salt & black pepper, now add the prepared the green paste, mix well, make sure the mixture or the marination should be thick, now add the pre marinated chicken and mix it well.
Now, transfer the marinated chicken in a separate bowl, cover and refrigerate it for at least an hour.
Once the marinated well, take a skewer a skew it nicely, once skewed well, cook it tandoor for 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and tender, brush the chicken with butter once cooked to elevate its flavour.
You can also cook them over a pan if in case you don’t have tandoor, you can simply use bamboo skewers that soaked in water and cook the chicken from both the sides until it gets some good colour and tender.
