RESHMI KEBAB (SILKEN KEBABS)

Reshmi Kebab (Silken Kebabs) image

This is a traditional Muglai dish prepared in India. It gets its name from the succulence of the meat after prolonged marinating and light braising. Traditionally, chicken, beef or lamb meat is used, but prawns or scallops are good substitutes too for this smooth as silk kebabs. Serve with chatnis (dips made from coconut, cilantro and mint, usually found in Indian grocery stores) or tomato sauce.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 tablespoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon finely ground pepper
4 teaspoons oil
2 lbs ground chicken or 2 lbs ground turkey
1/4 cup small cashew pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
4 teaspoons finely chopped onions
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
5 skewers
1 teaspoon melted butter

Steps:

If you are using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water per package directions to prevent splintering or burning.
Beat the eggs, cumin, chili powder, pepper and oil together. Mix in the ground meat and let sit for 10 min minimum.
Mix together the cashews, ginger, onion, coriander and garam masala. Work this mixture into the meat mixture, and divide the meat into 10 pieces.
With wet hands, wrap two portions of meat along each skewer, leaving 2 inches between portions.
Roast the kebabs on a grill for about 6 min, in a oven set at 300 degrees for 8 min, or in a rotisserie until golden brown.
When done, remove the skewers and baste with melted butter.
