Soya Chaap Malai Kebab

🇮🇳 Indian

Malai soya chaap off the grill, the Delhi vegetarian kebab stall's flagship. Marinated deep and grilled hard; kebabs are patience rewarded. Best hot off the grill with cold lassi.

Prep 34 min Cook 25 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Lemon1
  • Soya Chunks1 cup, boiled
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  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

    Slide off the skewers onto the heavy cream, hit it with lemon, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
