Spicy Chicken Kabobs




Hubby bought some ground chicken and promised to treat me with some delicious kabobs. Well, that never happened and I happened to debut in making chicken kabobs. The below recipe is pretty easy and you’ll be amazed with the outcome!

Happy Kabobing!! :)

Ingredients

Ground Chicken – 1 Lbs.
Mint Leaves – 1/2 cup, chopped
Coriander Leaves – 1/2 cup, chopped
Curry Leaves – 4 to 5 strands, roasted and crumbled
Green Chilies – 5 to 6, finely chopped
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp.
Garam Masala – 1 1/2 tsp.
Ground Pepper – 1/2 tsp.
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp.
Chili powder – 1 tsp.
Dhanya and Jeera powder – 1 tsp.
Salt – to taste
Olive Oil – 1 tbsp., for greasing the baking pan
Cloves – 5 to 6 nos.
Cardamom – 5 to 6 nos., crushed

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, put chicken and all the other ingredients (except oil, cloves and cardamom). Mix all the ingredients thoroughly till all the spices blend in to the chicken.
2. Take little portions of the mixture and form sausages around the skewers. Make sure the mixture is spread evenly around the skewer.
     Note - If you don’t have skewers, don’t worry. Scoop a small handful into your palm and shape the mixture in to a log.
3. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F. Take a baking pan and grease it with olive oil. Put cloves and cardamoms on pan and place it in the oven for 2 minutes or till the spices get aromatic.
4. Take the pan out, increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Place the kabobs on the pan and bake for 30 minutes in total.
5. After about 15 minutes, turn the kabobs over and bake for the remaining 15 minutes.
6. Serve hot with a bed of butter flavored basmati rice and mint yogurt sauce.
