To make the marinade, take thick yogurt in a bowl, add ginger paste, garlic paste, Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt, garam masala powder, dried fenugreek leaves powder, squeeze the juice of lemon straight into it, and mustard oil and mix well. Apply this mix over the chicken and set aside to marinade for 35-40 minutes.
3. Pre-heat the oven at 200ºC.
4. Thread the chicken on to skewers. Organize them on a baking tray and bake at the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, baste with melted butter in between.
5. Bring the tray out of the oven and spray some chaat masala over the chicken.
6. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a non-stick pan. Add black peppercorns, green cardamoms, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sauté till fragrant. Add garlic paste, ginger paste, and mix well. Add green chillies. Sauté for 2 minutes.
7. Add tomato puree and cook for 1-2 minutes.
