Description

A flavorful Indian dish featuring tender marinated chicken kebabs, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 400g Chicken Breast
  • 35g Ginger
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Kashmiri Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric
  • 15g Fresh Coriander
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
  • 50g Yoghurt
  • Freshly chopped coriander for Garnish


Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 2-3 cm cubes.
  2. Finely chop the fresh coriander.
  3. Peel the garlic and mash it into a paste with a pinch of salt.
  4. Grate the ginger and mix with other marinade ingredients.
  5. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably up to 24 hours.
  6. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
  7. Thread marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  8. Preheat grill to highest setting and cook kebabs for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 73°C (165°F).
  9. For an air fryer, spray basket with oil, cook at 200°C (400°F) for 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway.
  10. For oven, preheat to 220°C (450°F) or 200°C (400°F) for fan-assisted ovens, and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Marinate overnight for more flavor. Adjust spiciness with chili powder. Chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness.
