Cilantro Chicken Kabab

A perfect kabab for all cilantro lovers.

And these are the ingredients : Cilantro,Garlic,Mayonnaise,Vinegar,Lime juice,Onion,Dired red chilli,Olive oil ,Salt & water

Begin with a nice bunch of cilantro enough to make 1 cup and trim the long stems

Throw it in to a food processor or blender.

Add 1 peeled clove of Garlic

2 Tbsp Mayonnaise or Yogurt.I used Mayonnaise and am only assuming that the yogurt will work as well

1 1/2 Tbsp Vinegar

1 tsp Water

1 Tbsp Lime juice

And now it's time to give it a quick mix.Pulse it for few seconds.

Now add 3 Tb sp Chopped onion

1 Dired red chilli and for extra heat add 2 Green chilies 

1 Tb sp Olive oil and 1/2 tsp Salt.



Scrape the sides and pulse it again for few seconds to thoroughly combine.

And pour it in to a bowl.

Next make 25 bite size pieces of chicken

and pour the sauce over the chicken

Stir the chicken around to coat.

and marinate in the refrigerator for atleast an hour or 2 hours or even overnight .

By that time, soak few wooden skewers in water for half n hour.This will keep them from burning in the oven.

After the long wait, thread the chicken on to the skewers.

Place it in a pan lined with aluminium foil in such a way that the chicken doesn't touch the bottom of the pan

Now put the pan under the broiler in the oven for 15 minutes.After 15 minutes filp them to the other side and put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

When they are done remove them to a plate. TRY THIS !
