Instructions:

Check out the Recipe for Chicken Kabab Marinade

  • Check the chicken for any excess moisture and ensure it is fully drained.
  • In a mixing dish, thoroughly combine all of the masala ingredients.
  • In the marinade, make any necessary adjustments to the seasoning. Ensure each piece of chicken is thoroughly marinated.
  • Cover the chicken completely and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. This resting period helps tenderize the chicken and allows it to absorb flavors more effectively.
  • Alternatively, thread the marinated chicken and onions onto the skewers. Soak wooden skewers in water before using them.

Making a Chicken Kebab

  • Preheat the oven to 240°C and let it preheat for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Place the chicken kebabs on a baking tray and bake them for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, flip the kebabs to the other side and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Move the tray to the top rack of the oven or switch to broil mode for the final 5 minutes of cooking. If desired, you can spread some butter or oil over the kebabs at this point.
  • If you don’t have a grill at home, then take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a flat, round kebab.
  • Heat a tawa or a flat pan over medium heat and drizzle some oil onto it.
  • Place the shaped kebabs on the heated tawa and cook them until they are cooked through and turn golden brown.
  • While cooking, you can brush some oil on the kebabs to keep them moist and prevent sticking.
  • Once the kebabs are cooked and have a nice crust on the outside, remove them from the tawa and place them on a serving plate or on skewers.
  • Serve the chicken kebabs hot, accompanied by mint and coriander chutney. Alternatively, if you're looking for a spicy kick, Schezwan chutney can fulfill your cravings!

  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight. This extended marination time allows the flavors of the chicken kabab masala to penetrate the meat.
  • Don't shy away from experimenting with spices. Add a dash of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves to add depth and complexity to the marinade.
  • Customize the spice level according to your taste preferences, creating a flavor profile that is uniquely yours.

  • Achieve a harmonious balance of flavors by mixing different spices in your chicken kabab masala.
  • Grill enough so that it adds that coveted smoky flavor and charred texture to your kababs.
