Keto Chicken Malai Kebabs
Keto Chicken Malai Kebab is tender chunks of chicken smothered in creamy textures of dahi or yoghurt, cheese, cream along with spices and a liberal squeeze of tangy lime.
Ingredients
- 500 gms Boneless Chicken
- 100 ml Heavy Cream
- 50 gms Cheese-Britannia or Amul grated
- 10 gms Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 tbsp Ghee or clarified butter
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp 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
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.
