Reshmi Kebab
Reshmi kebabs are traditional Mughlai chicken kebabs with a soft and satiny marinade. This dish gets its name from the succulence of the meat after prolonged marinating. The juicy marinade consists of lemon juice (nimboo ka ras), spices and some crushed garlic (lahsan). These spices can be added according to taste. Curds (dahi) can also be added to it to obtain a smooth marinade. The key to nailing this recipe is to ensure that the bite-size chicken pieces are tender. For this, proper marination of the chicken should be carried out overnight, or at least for 8 hours. The use of chicken in kebab amounts to a lower calorie count than usual. The beaten egg (anda)-gram flour (besan) mixture serves as the binding agent, and makes for a crispy exterior. Finally, the marinated chicken pieces are cooked in an oven for some time, which should be pre-heated to the correct temperature beforehand. Reshmi kebabs taste wonderful with green chutney (mint or coriander) and salad. They can be served as appetizers, and are one of the most popular non-vegetarian starters in Indian restaurants.
