Chicken Kebabs

Chicken kebabs are an all time favorite in our family. My toddler calls them chicken cookies. This yummy kebab can be eaten with a dipping sauce or stuffed inside a pita bread.

Chicken Kebabs

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp grated garlic
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chili powder
4 cloves, crushed
2 whole cardamoms, crushed
2 cups water
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp yogurt
1 boiled potato (optional)

Grind together
1 small onion
1 cup fresh coriander, chopped
1 or 2 green chillies


In a large sauce pan add water, chicken, ginger, garlic, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, crushed cloves, crushed cardamoms and salt. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer till the chicken is cooked and all the water has evaporated. The mix should be very dry. Grind in a food processor. Add the ground onion mix, yogurt and the egg to the ground chicken. Mix well. Refrigerate for 2-4 hrs. Make small balls. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the kebabs over low to medium heat. Add mashed potatoes to the kebabs mix if the kebabs break apart while frying.
