Ingredients For Chicken Hariyali Kabab:
- 500 grams of antibiotic-residue-free FreshToHome Premium Boneless Chicken Breast (Mini Bite Cubes)
- 1 cup fresh coriander leaves
- ½ cup mint leaves
- 2-3 green chillies (spice up your life!)
- ½ cup thick yoghurt (curd)
- 1-inch piece of ginger (gingerly grated)
- 4-5 cloves of garlic (garlic galore!)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (a citrusy splash)
- 2 tablespoons besan (gram flour)
- 1 tablespoon garam masala (get ready to spice things up!)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder (for that extra kick)
- Salt to taste (seasoned to perfection)
- 2 tablespoons oil (let’s get this party sizzling!)
- Skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes (if using wooden skewers)
Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Prepping the Marinade
First things first, let’s get that gorgeous green marinade ready. In a blender, toss in the fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, ginger paste, garlic paste, and yoghurt. Blend until you have a smooth, vibrant green paste. If your blender is having a hard time, add a splash of water to get things moving.
2. Marinate Like a Pro
Transfer the green paste to a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, gram flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the flavours. Now, it’s time to get the chicken involved. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. If you can let it marinate overnight, even better! This allows the flavours to really seep into the chicken, making each bite absolutely delicious.
3. Skewer and Grill
If you’re using skewers, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto them. This is where things start to get exciting! Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (about 400°F). If you’re grilling on the stovetop, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it with vegetable oil. Place the skewered chicken on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has those beautiful char marks. If you’re using an oven, place the skewers on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
4. Serve and Devour
Once your Chicken Hariyali Kebabs are grilled to perfection, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful. Serve these beauties hot with a side of mint chutney, some lemon wedges, and maybe a sprinkle of chaat masala for that extra zing. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
