Dahi Ke Kebab

🇮🇳 Indian

Hung yogurt kebabs, crisp outside, molten cream inside. Smoke, char and spice — the tandoor tradition, any way you can manage it. Best hot off the grill with cold lassi.

Prep 36 min Cook 17 min Serves 3 Medium

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the yogurt with the gram flour, ginger garlic paste, spices and lemon; refrigerate at least two hours, overnight is better.

    Soak the skewers, warm the grill, and set a rack close to the heat.

  3. 3

    Take the skewers out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead — even cooking starts here.

  4. 4

    Cook over strong heat, turning four times, till charred in patches and just cooked through.

  5. 5

    Rest, then finish with lemon, chaat masala and the cashews; serve with onion rings and mint chutney.

Chef's tip

A piece of charcoal, lit and dropped in the marinade pot, fakes the tandoor smoke.
