Method

Whisk thick curd with ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, kasuri methi and chaat masala. Add roasted gram flour to thicken the marinade so it clings to the chaap.
Coat the soya chaap pieces evenly in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, longer for deeper flavour.
Thread the marinated chaap onto skewers, brush with mustard oil, and grill on a tandoor, grill pan or tawa over medium-high heat, turning and basting until charred spots appear on all sides.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled chaap, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with mint or green chutney.
