Reshmi Kebab Recipes

RESHMI KABAB | CHICKEN MALAI KABAB

Steps:

• Add chicken to a bowl and pat dry any excess moisture. This prevents the chicken malai tikkas from letting out lots of moisture.
• In a separate bowl, mix together almond meal, fresh cream, thick yogurt, cheese (optional), lemon juice, oil, salt, black pepper, ginger garlic and coriander leaves.
• Mix them well and taste test. If you want you may add more salt and black pepper to adjust to your taste. This mixture should be ideally thick.
• Pour this over the chicken and mix well. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for atleast 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to the highest. At 240 C or 470 F for at least 15 mins.
• Thread the chicken on the skewers and place them on a prepared baking tray. Grill for 15 mins.
• Turn them to the other side and grill again for 7 to 8 mins. Check after 22 to 23 mins of grilling to prevent burning.
• The last 2 minutes grill them on a broil mode for charring. Remove the grilled chicken malai tikkas from the oven and brush butter over them.
• Serve chicken malai kababs with mint chutney.
