Indulge in the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of Malai Kabob.

 Creamy Marinade (Malai): The defining feature of this kabob is the rich, decadent marinade. "Malai" translates to cream, and the marinade is typically a blend of fresh cream, yogurt, grated cheese (like cream cheese or processed cheese), and cashew paste.

 Subtle Spices: Unlike more aggressive, chili-heavy kabobs (like Chicken Tikka), the seasoning in Malai Kabob is mild and aromatic, focusing on flavors like cardamom, white pepper, ginger, and garlic. This light spicing allows the richness of the cream and the tenderness of the meat to take center stage.

 Tender Protein: While it can be made with cottage cheese (paneer malai tikka), it most commonly features boneless chicken or sometimes mutton/lamb. The yogurt and cream in the marinade act as a powerful tenderizer, ensuring the meat is incredibly soft after cooking.
