Cooking time (approx.): 15 minutes
Style: North Indian (Mughlai) Non-Vegetarian

12 boneless pieces (about 800 grams) of chicken
2 tablespoon(s) fresh cream
1 egg(s) lightly beaten
4 green chillies finely chopped
2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped coriander leaves
½ teaspoon(s) each of mace and nutmeg powders

1 tablespoon(s) each of ginger and garlic pastes
1 tablespoon(s) grated cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice

Make cuts on the chicken pieces. Mix together rest of the ingredients except for the lemon juice and rub this paste onto the chicken pieces. Refrigerate for at least three hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven and skewer the chicken pieces. Baste with butter and cook for about 15 minutes or till the chicken is tender.
