Green chicken skewers – Recipe

Green chicken skewers is a delicious starter with an Indian touch to its flavor. The pleasant aroma, unique taste and the ease of cooking makes it an appealing party finger-food. Not to mention the attractive color, this dish is savored well by both adults and children alike.

Let us dive into how to cook this yummy food:

Ingredients:

• Chicken thigh/breast boneless – 1 pound (cut into bite sizes)
• Green capsicum – 1 medium (deseeded)
• Mint leaves – 1 handful
• Coriander leaves – 1 handful
• Green chillies – 6-8 nos
• Curd- 5 tbsp
• Ginger garlic paste – 1tbsp
• Milk powder (optional) – 1 tbsp
• Pepper powder (finely ground) – 1 tsp
• Salt – to taste
• Chat masala – ½ tsp
• Skewers – 4-5 nos

Recipe: 

• Wash and clean the chicken pieces thoroughly
• Grind the capsicum, mint and coriander leaves, green chillies into a fine paste. Do not add water as the water content in these are good enough to make a fine paste
• In a mixing bowl, add curd, ground paste, ginger garlic paste, milk powder, pepper powder and salt and whisk it thoroughly
• Add the chicken pieces to it and let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour
• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 mins-1 hour
• Once chicken is marinated, pin the chicken pieces to the skewers, no more than 4-5 pieces per stick
• Heat a shallow frying pan with cooking oil (I prefer olive oil, but sunflower/canola oil can also be used)
• Once the oil is quite hot, place the skewers spaced out
• Cook on each side until the crust is nicely caramelized and the chicken is well done
• While serving, sprinkle chaat masala for added taste (this step is optional)
