Fresh mint leaves, torn
Method –
Step 1 – In a large bowl, add the chicken pieces, onion, garlic, black pepper, salt, turmeric, paprika , yogurt, half of the lemon juice and 3 tbsp of the saffron water.
Mix in well and marinade for an 1 hour.
Step 2 – Thread in 5-6 pieces of chicken on each skewer. In a little bowl, melt the butter and mix in with the saffron water and lemon juice. Now, Turn on the air fryer and set it to 205°C.
