Notes
You can add meat tenderizer/papaya paste in the first marinade,I have never used it as i marinate it well ahead so that the meat is cooked succulent and really well.
If you love to make it extra rich you can also add 2 tbsp mava/khoya to the second marinade.
Always cook on medium flame as it has cheese it turns brown fast.
Use salt sparingly since cheese is salty too.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for an hour before you use it

Hi Gloria trying this recipe....now can I add amul cheese spread that is processed cheese...and you didnot mention how much corn flour to add

Gloria Fernandes said...

Hi..sorry i forgot to mention its 1 tbsp cornflour .you can try adding spread but then it iwll be little on liquid side so you will have to add more cornflour ..or you can simply skip adding cheese too
