CHICKEN BOTI KABAB

Steps:

• In a clean dry bowl add the thick yogurt and the mayo and whisk well until fully combined & smooth.
• Next, add the mustard oil, the spices, ginger garlic paste, salt, lemon juice to the bowl and whisk everything well until fully mixed & smooth.
• Now, add the beet root powder. You may increase or decrease the amount as per your liking. Mix everything well..
• Add the chicken pieces and mix well until all the chicken pieces are well coated with the marinade.
• Cover the bowl with a cling film and allow the marinated chicken to rest for 30 mins to 2 hrs. in the fridge. You may also leave it overnight in the fridge.
• Next, skewer the meat in the metal or bamboo skewers and set aside.
• Heat a griddle or non stick skillet over medium heat. When the pan becomes moderately hot brush it with oil.
• Next, place the skewers and cook over medium heat rotating sides from time to time. The meat will be fully cooked in 15 mins.
• Now, turn the flame to the highest setting and cook all sides of the chicken boti kabab for that beautiful charred look. Set the chicken boti kababs aside on a plate.

CHICKEN BOTI KEBABS

Steps:

• Chicken
• Smash garlic with a mortar and pestle to make a paste (you should have 1 Tbsp.) and transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat process with ginger (you should also have 1 Tbsp. You can also finely chop and then smash the garlic and ginger with the side of a chef's knife on a cutting board if you don't have a mortar and pestle.) Add yogurt, oil, salt, coriander, cayenne, and cumin to bowl and whisk to combine. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes, or chill up to 4 hours.
• Sumac onions
• Toss red onion, sumac, and salt in a small bowl to coat; set aside.
• Hari chutney and assembly
• Purée lime juice, chile, garlic, cilantro, mint, and ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a food processor or blender until smooth and pourable. If you prefer a thinner chutney, drizzle in 1-3 Tbsp. ice water a tablespoonful at a time, processing until you reach the desired consistency. Taste and season chutney with more salt if needed. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Place sour cream in another small bowl and add 2 Tbsp. chutney; whisk to combine. Season herbed sour cream with salt. Cover both remaining chutney and herbed sour cream separately and chill until ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, taking care not to pack it too tightly. Grill, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and slide chicken from skewers. (Alternatively, broil skewers on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.)
• Spread reserved herbed sour cream on cut sides of buns. Stuff buns with chicken, cucumber slices, and reserved sumac onions and drizzle with chutney. Do ahead: Hari chutney and herbed mayo can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
