    Afghani Kebab Recipe

    If you’re looking for a tasty kebab recipe to accompany your regular meal tonight – something that can be cooked easily, than Afghani kebab recipe is a great choice! It’s a simple and easy to put together kebab recipe that is super moist, delicious and goes with just about everything. Today I am pairing these kebabs with my chana dal with lauki recipe – a flavorful and satisfying dinner tonight. 🙂

    RECIPE DETAIL – Recipe breaks down in two parts – first a paste of mint-cilantro leaves along with cream is prepared. Secondly, assemble rest of the ingredients and marinate chicken cubes in it. For tenderizing the meat I have used lemon juice. Leave the marinade for 2-3 hours or overnight. Meanwhile soak some bamboo skewers in water for 30 minute or an hour. When the marination time is over, thread the chicken cubes through the skewers and grill them for 15 – 20 minutes. Remove kebabs from the oven. They should be soft and tender on the inside and beautifully charred on the outside.

    If you choose to give your kebabs a smoky flavor (dhungar method) then follow the step by step process below. I have used dhungar method in dal tadka and Chicken seekh kebab recipe. 

    These kebabs are practically healthy, oil free and prepared with just the right amount of spices. Drizzle some lime juice, sprinkle some chaat masala, garnish with cilantro leaves and enjoy these yummy kebabs with chutney of your choice.
