Ingredients
- 500gms Boneless Chicken
- 100ml Heavy Cream
- 50gms Cheese-Britannia or Amul grated
- 10gms Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2tbsp Ghee or clarified butter
- 1/2tsp Salt
- 1/2tsp Black Pepper Powder
- Juice of half a lime
- 1/2 green pepper
- 1/2 yellow pepper
- 1/2 red pepper
- 1 Onion
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into kebab size pieces.
- In a bowl mix the cheese, cream, ginger,-garlic paste, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the ghee too. Mix all the ingredients well till you have a nice creamy marinade.
- Add in the chicken and mix nicely with fingers to coat all the pieces. Cover and set aside for one hour if you are going to grill it soon or else store it in the fridge overnight.
- Before grilling brush the ghee on the chicken pieces. I used wooden skewers which I had soaked for 15 minutes. You can skewer and directly roast but I lined a baking tray with foil and grilled the chicken on it.
- I like colour in my food and I chopped square pieces of the coloured peppers and onion and skewered them with the half cooked chicken. I then roasted them on a grill in the oven to get the charred colour.
- Serve the kebab with mint chutney, onion and lemon wedges
Recipe Notes
Grill the chicken in a tray first and then roast it on the skewers with the peppers.
The peppers won’t lose their colour like this and stay crunchy.
Soak the skewers in water before using them. This prevents them from burning.
