With a knife, make 2-3 deep slashes on each drumstick. This helps the marinade seep into the meat, making every bite burst with flavor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mix That Magic<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In a bowl, combine cream, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, chili paste, garam masala, cumin, cardamom powder, lemon juice, cheese, and salt. Mix it until it looks like a dreamy creamy cloud of spices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Marinate Like a Boss<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it gets into every nook and cranny (yes, even the slashes). Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is the ultimate game-changer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cooking Time!<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Grill<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Preheat your grill, place the drumsticks on, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally and basting with butter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Oven<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Preheat to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F), place the drumsticks on a tray, and bake for 30 minutes. For a smoky finish, broil for 2 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Stovetop<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Heat a non-stick pan, add some butter, and cook the chicken on medium heat until golden and cooked through (about 25 minutes).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>5.<b> Serve and Shine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Serve your Malai Tangdi Kebab with mint chutney, pickled onions, and naan.
