Tips to make the best Reshmi Kabab

Here are some tips to make the best reshmi kabab:

• Use boneless chicken breast or thigh for the best texture and flavor.
• Cut the chicken into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.
• Use hung yogurt or Greek yogurt for the marinade. It should be thick and not watery.
• Add cheese spread, cream cheese or grated cheese to the marinade for extra creaminess and richness.
• Use almond meal, cashew nuts or cornstarch to bind the marinade and make it stick to the chicken.
• Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
• Soak wooden skewers in water for an hour before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning.
• Preheat the oven or grill to a high temperature and cook the chicken for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Baste the chicken with butter or oil while grilling to keep it moist and prevent drying out.
• Sprinkle some kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) or garam masala on top of the cooked chicken for extra aroma and taste.
