Chicken Chelo Kebabs (with a twist)

Updated: Feb 12, 2020

1. Chicken shashlik skewers:

Step 1: 500 gms boneless chicken to be diced into small squares

Step 2: In a mixing bowl add the following- 2 tbsp yoghurt, 1 tsp red chilli powder (Kashmiri), 1 tbsp garlic paste, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp garam masala powder, lemon juice

(1 lemon) and salt to taste

Step 3: Marinate for about 30 minutes

Step 4: Pour the mixture into a heated pan and cook on high

Step 5: Add in 2 diced capsicums and 2 diced onions

Step 6: Cover and let it cook till the chicken is well cooked

Step 7: Layer up your skewers by alternating the chicken, onion and capsicum pieces


2. Chicken koobideh:

Step 1: Put 500gms ground chicken in a bowl

Step 2: Add 1 grated onion to the chicken (squeeze out the water from the grated onion)

Step 3: Add the following to the bowl and mix well- 1.5 tsp red chilli powder (Kashmiri), 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp crushed kasuri methi, 1 tsp ground pepper, 1 tsp ginger paste, 1 tsp garlic paste

Step 4: Refrigerate the mixture (the longer you keep it the better)

Step 5: Heat butter in a pan

Step 6: Add in the entire mixture on the pan (it should resemble an omelette when spread out in the pan)

Step 7: Cook on a high flame on both sides

Step 8: Use your spatula to cut long cylindrical shaped pieces while the meat is being cooked


3. Butter Rice:

Step 1: Boil water

Step 2: Add 2 bay leaves, 2 cardamoms, 2 cloves, salt to taste

Step 3: Add in the rice (I used 2 cups)

Step 4: Once it comes to a boil, keep it for about 6-7 minutes and then drain

Step 5: Pour back the rice into the utensil you used and add some saffron (I didn’t have saffron so I used turmeric powder) and 1tbsp of butter


Plate up!! Add two skewers of chicken shashlik, some butter rice (you can add a small blob of additional butter for flavor), 2 pieces of chicken koobideh and some sliced cucumbers. My husband doesn’t like fried eggs, so I didn’t put one, but you can add a crispy double fried egg and a roasted tomato to complete your dish!
