Reshmi Kebab

🇮🇳 Indian

Silken reshmi kebabs, cream-marinated and griddle-gold. The smell alone sells the dish. Classic plate: kebabs, laccha pyaaz, mint chutney, naan.

Prep 28 min Cook 25 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Chicken500 g, bone-in pieces
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Lemon1
  • Cashews1/4 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the chicken with the cashews and seasonings; cover and let the fridge do the tenderising.

  2. 2

    Prepare the skewers and the grill or oven — high heat, clean grates.

  3. 3

    Let the marinade drip off; wet surfaces steam instead of char.

  4. 4

    Grill till the edges catch and blacken slightly — that char is the flavour.

  5. 5

    Rest five minutes, squeeze fresh lemon over, shower with chaat masala and serve with sliced onions and green chutney.

Chef's tip

Don't move the kebab before it releases; it will tell you when.
