Soya Chaap is popular food these days in North India. Tandoori Soya Chaap Tikka is a delicious starter recipe that is loved by everyone. Soya Chaap is made up of soybean that is a healthy snack recipe full of protein. I love tandoori recipes that will give a natural smoky flavor to the dish.
The most interesting part of the making of Tandoori Chaap is marinating the soya chaap. Marination is the soul of this tikka, which will help to make chaap more tempting and flavorful because Soya Chaap has no flavor of its own. So you can make delicious marination to give flavors to the Chaap.
Without marination, it tastes nothing and you might not like to try soya chaap again. So you have to leave the marinated chaap for at least 30 minutes or more because it takes little time to observe all the spices in the chaap. It is so easy to make marinations for Tandoori Soya Chaap Tikka. I’ll explain it below in detail.
Here I am using readymade frozen chaap, it is easily available in the market, in case you don’t get it from the market then you can buy it online. It is definitely available on online pantries like Amazon, BigBasket, and Grofers.
The most challenging part of making Soya Chaap tikka is the roasting of Soya Chaap. There are a lot of ways to roast chaap like on the electric tandoor, Oven, or Electric Grill. The gas stove is the most common and also so easy way to roast Soya chaap Tikka. But all these don’t give a natural smoky flavor to the chaap and also leave the chaap uncooked from the inside.
Some people can also use the Hot Coal trick to give a smoky flavor to the chaap. They place hot coal with some desi ghee on top of the hot coal in between the marinated chaap. That is also a good way to get a smoky flavor if don’t have the real tandoor.
But, roasting Chaap on tandoor is always best. That will give a delicious natural smoky flavor to the Chaap. This is my favorite and always the better option to make tandoori Chaap Tikka. No other way can replace that to get that smoky and natural flavor.
Tandoori Chaap Tikka is served with green Chutney and some onion salad. You can also make Cream Salad if you want but if you are a calorie-conscious person, you should ignore it. But it tastes so good with Tandoori Chaap tikka.

How To Make Tandoori Soya Chaap Step By Step (in detail):
- These are the ingredients I am going to use in this Soya Chaap Tikka.
- Firstly, rinse and boil soya chaap in salt water until it easily comes out from the stick. Then remove sticks from soya chaap and cut them into dice.
- Now take a bowl and add ½ cup of hung curd, 1 tbsp cream, ½ tbsp of garlic paste, and add all spices to the bowl. Mix it very well.
- Now add diced chaap and melted butter in the bowl and mix it very well.
- Leave it for 30 minutes or more if you want that will help to absorb all the spices in the chaap.
- Now it’s time to roast it. Here I am going to share two ways to roast soya chaap at home:
- You can Roast it on Gas Stove. It is one of the easy ways to roast chaap. But it doesn’t give a smoky flavor in the chaap.
- You can also roast it on the tandoor. Here I am going to share, how you can easily roast chaap in tandoor. Simply place the grill on the tandoor and then place marinated chaap on it. Cover it with a steel plate and wait. If the chaap is stuck on the grill then Greece some butter on the grill before placing the chaap. When you notice the black spot on the chaap. That means the chaap is completely done. Now kept aside in a separate plate.
The method of roasting chaap on Tandoor is my favorite and it also gives natural smoky flavors to the chaap.
Now it is time for mixing all the masalas and ingredients. This is the time where all the magic happens.
- Take a bowl and add roasted chaap and adds 2 tbsp of cream, and melted butter.
- Add Chaat masala, red chili powder, Sliced onions, lemon juice, and, green chutney in it. Green Chutney is totally optional, you can skip it if you want.
