Here comes an easy way to prepare the yummy Kalmi Kababs at home……..

Kalmi Kabab

Ingredients:

Chicken leg pieces – 5-6 nos.

Curd (Yogurt) – ¼ cup

Chili Powder – 2 tsps

Pinch of Turmeric Powder

Ginger-Garlic Paste – 2 tsps

Lemon Juice – 4-5 tsps

Tandoor color – ½ tsp

Salt to taste

Butter – 100 gms

Method:

Marination : 

Mix curd with chili Powder, Ginger-Garlic Paste, Lemon juice, Tandoor color and salt to taste. Add the chicken pieces to this marinade and make sure the marinade covers the chicken completely.  Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 5-6 hours in refrigerator. 

Heat the Tandoor Grill and place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill on a medium flame. Brush the chicken pieces with butter. Allow the chicken to cook for 14-15 mins and turn the chicken pieces to cook the other side. Apply butter as required. It takes about 25-30 mins to grill the chicken on both the sides.

You could just smell the wonderful chicken cooked in the tandoor to perfect to be served with cut onions and lime. 

With Nonstick pan :

Take a nonstick pan, add 1 tsp oil and heat it. Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Close the pan with a lid and allow chicken to cook on a medium flame for 5-6 mins. Turn the chicken pieces and apply 1 tsp oil on the chicken. Allow the chicken to cook on both the sides. It takes about 20-25 mins to cook the chicken on both the sides. I like little crisp chicken so I allow the chicken for extra 2-3 mins to get the crispness on both the sides in the pan.  

Serve hot home-made Kalmi Kababs .
