Hariyali Chicken Kabab (Green Chicken Kabab)
Ingredients
- 250 gms Skinless boneless chicken thighs refer notes
- 1/2 cup Coriander leaves
- 1/4 cup Mint leaves
- 1.5 tsp each Chopped ginger & garlic
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Fennel seeds
- 1/4 tsp Whole black pepper
- 1 Green chilli chopped
- Salt
- 2 - 3 tsp Ghee
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Clean the chicken pieces and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Grind together all the ingredients from coriander leaves to green chilli to a smooth paste. Do not add water.
- Marinate the chicken pieces with the ground paste and salt for 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a wide pan. Add chicken pieces. Cover and cook for 5-6 mins. Remove the lid and flip the chicken pieces. Cover and cook for another 5-6 minutes. If you want charred chicken, increase the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 mins on each side.
- Brush the cooked chicken pieces with 2-3 tsp of ghee. Apart from giving a nice sheen, the ghee adds extra flavour and keeps the meat juicy.
- You can serve it with some yogurt dip. Add some minced garlic, lemon juice and some herbs like dill or parsley.
Notes
You can also use chicken breasts (skinless & boneless) instead of thighs. The cooking time might vary. However I prefer the taste and texture of thigh pieces to breast pieces. You can refrigerate the marinated chicken pieces for a day.
