Method

How to make Chicken kebabs

1) Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5.

2) In a large bowl, mix together the mint, ginger, tamarind water, sugar, garam masala and 4 tbsp of oil. Add the chicken and mix it well. Cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

3) Thread the chicken onto the 4 skewers. Add the remaining oil to a pan on a medium to high heat. Sear the chicken kebabs, turning frequently and basting with the remaining marinade for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, until the chicken is browned.

4) Finish cooking the chicken in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut a piece of chicken open with a small knife to test for doneness.

Cook's Note: If using bamboo skewers, cover with water and soak overnight.
