Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Servings

• 250 gms boneless Chicken thigh, minced
• 1 tsp Pepper
• 1 tsp Crushed Chilly flakes
• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
• ¼ tsp Turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric root)
• ¹⁄₈ tsp Cumin powder
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Green chilli

• ¹⁄₂ cup fresh Parsley
• ¹⁄₂ cup Spring onion leaves/Scallions
• Salt (to taste)
• 2-3 Tbsp Butter, melted
• You’ll need: small bamboo skewers,grill pan or bbq grill

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients (except meat and butter) to a small steel grinder/or meat grinder.Grind till smooth.
2. Add the meat and mince together – this takes only 5-8 seconds.
3. We don’t want it to become paste like, it should make a smooth mix retaining some texture.
4. Remove this ‘patty’ mixture to a bowl and knead gently.
5. Soak the bamboo skewers.
6. Using your palms press the patty mixture along 3/4th of the skewers to make a thin, even sized kebab.
7. Place on a tray, Pour the melted butter over the kebabs and freeze for 10 minutes.
8. Heat a grill pan or bbq grill.
9. (if using a grill pan, add 1 OR 2 Tbsp oil over the surface)
10. Grill the skewers on each side for about 3 minutes. Hot,Grilled Succulent Kebabs are ready! DO NOT OVER GRILL- OR KEBABS WILL TURN DRY!
11. Serve Hot & Enjoy.
12. To make the Kofta Wraps, prepare a fresh salad of chopped onion, tomato, lettuce and mint leaves. Also prepare Labneh Dip and Pita Bread, and enjoy these delicious home made wraps.

Note

• Do not buy minced chicken. Buy Boneless thighs or debone yourself and mince in a small meat grinder with all the other ingredients.
• Don’t be tempted to make large kebabs, remember they must cook quickly on the grill, so if they are too big they won't be cooked through. Smaller is better!
