Chicken Kebabs

 

 

 

If you have visited or lived in Bangalore then you definitely would have tasted the Empire Chicken Kebab. This particular dish is fried in Dalda  and that’s why it’s got a very unique taste.  If you are an expert in analysing food, then you will know that there is not much of ingredient that has gone into making these Kebabs. But still there is an addiction towards this Kebab. When we go to empire, we just order Ghee Rice & full plate Chicken Kebab. Well my recipe does not taste same as Empire Kebabs, but better than that with good blend of spices. These Kebabs are very juicy & crispy.  The secret to making it juicy is in marinating at least for 3 to 4 hrs in the fridge & frying it slow to medium in oil.

2. Massage the Chicken pieces well with this paste & keep it in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 hours.
