Harayali Chicken Tikka






This is not a great picture. I was in a hurry to grill this skewer:)
But the chicken tasted great:) This is an easy recipe. I had this kababs first at a place in Pune. A puree of spinach, mint and cilantro with few green chillies for heat gives it an excellent taste. There are no complex masalas used so you can be sure of the taste each time you make it.
Recipe
1 lb boneless breast chicken
few sprigs mint
some cilantro
bunch of spinach
3-4 green chillies
salt to taste
ginger-garlic paste
2 tsp yogurt
2 tsp oil for marinating
Wash, clean and cut the chicken into small pieces. Blend mint, cilantro, spinach, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste and yogurt together to get a smoot marinade. MIx this with the chicken. Add salt and oil to this chicken. Refrigerate for atleast 1 hour.
Pre-heat the oven to 350f. You can skewer this chicken and grill them in the oven or just bake them on a steel plate( the one you have at home works) Cook the chicken for 20-25 mins till the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink inside. Broil it for 5-7 mins for the charcoal flavor. Keep a close eye on it.
Serve this warm with mint chutney garnished with onions.
enjoy
