Kali Mirch Murgh Kebab

I once had this kebabs in a Restaurant while in India. It was so delicious. I loved it a lot. When I was back from India, I always missed this tikkas. So I thought of making it myself. After a lot of attempts, I finally managed to make it just like those in that restaurant. If you haven't tried it yet, you should definitely try it once. Its simple.

Below is the recipe for the same.

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast 200 gms
Green Chili 1 small
Ginger 1/3 inch piece
Garlic Cloves 2 medium
Fresh Black peppercorns crushed 1/2 tsp
Thick Curd / Yoghurt 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Chaat Masala
Lemon juice 1/2 tsp
Butter melted

Method:

Grind green chili, ginger & garlic without adding water. It will be ground coarsely.
Cut chicken breasts into 2 inch big pieces.
Rub salt & lemon juice to the chicken pieces. Keep for 10 minutes
Add ginger - garlic - green chili coarsely ground paste & crushed black pepper powder to the chicken pieces. Keep this for 10 minutes.
Later apply yoghurt to the chicken pieces. Now keep this for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 200 degree Celsius.
Insert this chicken pieces into skewers.
Place the skewers on the grill plate in the preheated oven.
Flip them after 7 minutes. Brush melted butter to the chicken pieces.
Again after 7 minutes flip them & brush melted butter to the chicken pieces.
Again flip after 7 minutes & brush them with melted butter. (Total the chicken breasts are in oven for 21 minutes. Flip after every 7 minutes. If you feel chicken is not cooked properly keep them in the oven for max 25 minutes not more than that).
Once done remove them in aluminum foil. Sprinkle some chaat masala & a pinch of coarsely ground black pepper powder. Cover the pieces in the aluminum foil.
Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve immediately with curd dip or coriander - mint chutney.

Tips:

Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour.
Place the chicken skewers in the oven for max 25 minutes so that the pieces remain soft & tender. Not more than that or else the chicken will become dry & hard. Boneless chicken doesn't take long time to cook.
Check out the curd dip recipe which goes well with the kebabs.
