Healthy Tandoori Chicken Kebab



Ingredients




1 lb. chicken breast (Trimmed)
1/2 tsp Meat tenderizer *
1 tsp Coarsely ground black pepper
2 tbsp Ginger‐Garlic paste
1 cup Low fat Yogurt (strained on a muslin to remove moisture if necessary; substitute with Light greek yoghurt)
1 tsp Tandoori masala *
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tbsp Kasoori methi (crushed)*
1/2 tsp Red chili powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
Saffron strands (a pinch)
Lemon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil/ Spray
Salt



* Ingredients marked are easily available in any Indian or Pakistani Grocery Store 

I recommend Everest Tandoori Chicken Masala and MDH Kasoori Methi



Procedure

  1. Remove any fat from the chicken and wipe it with paper towels to remove moisture.
  2. Slice the chicken into strips. Add the meat tenderizer, black pepper and salt. 
  3. This phase of the marinade is very dry the powders should stick to the chicken. Marinate for about 30 minutes.
  4. Add the rest of the spices and ingredients except the lemon and oil.
  5. Marinate overnight if possible.
  6. Stick them on to skewers and baste with the olive oil or spray it on and grill. The chicken cooks pretty quickly in about 5 - 10 minutes on the grill because it is pretty tender at this point. If you don't have a grill, you can put this in the oven and set it to broil.
