Calling all Kebab fans… Here is super simple and utterly delicious “must-try” recipe for Reshmi Kebab. Bite size pieces of chicken are marinated in a fresh and flavorful mint cream sauce. You can grill the kebabs on skewers in your oven or barbecue grill. Don’t worry if you don’t have an oven or grill. We’ll show you how to make them on the stove as well. Enjoy!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Boneless Skinless Chicken – 1 lb (approx 1/2 kg)
Heavy Whipping Cream – 1/2 cup
Ginger/Garlic Paste – 2 Tbsp
Ground Mint Leaves – 1 Tbsp
Ground Cilantro (Coriander Leaves) – 1 Tbsp
Ground Green Chilies – to taste
Salt – to taste

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT Chicken.
2. Taste the mixture and adjust salt before adding chicken.
3. Add Chicken and mix well.
4. Cover and keep in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 4-6 hours (overnight if you have time).
5. Soak wooden skewers in water for 1-2 hours.
6. Pierce the chicken onto the skewers and place on a baking sheet lined foil and spray coated with oil.
7. Broil in the oven on High (on top shelf) for 10 minutes.
8. Turn chicken over and continue to broil for another 5 – 7 minutes, until light brown.

Alternate Cooking Method:

1. Add marinated chicken with all of the sauce (marinade) into a hot non-stick pan.
2. Cook uncovered and stirring continuously until chicken is light brown (caramelized).
3. Turn off stove. Cover the pan and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Hi Hetal and Anuja

Just had this doubt … if I have to marinate overnight then it has to be kept in deep-freeze?? (I mean just the night time). Could you please clarify this immediately if possible .. want to make this tomorrow night.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bindu,

You should keep the chicken in the refrigerator overnight — not the deep freeze. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Nice and easy recipe. I am gonna try it..

Question – Can I use evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. I saw in your other recipies that you guys suggest options like evaporated milk, low fat evaporated milk etc instead of heavy cream. I have few cans of evaporated milk at home .. and thought could make it to use..

Hi Christina,
For most dishes it’s OK to substitute but in this case we don’t suggest that you. The thinkness of the heavy whipping creams coats the chicken a lot better. Evaporated milk tends to just drip off.

Dear Hetal and Anuja
Thank you so much for this super easy and wonderful recipe. I like the simplicity of ur cooking… no fancy ingredients like many chefs use.
I sooo wanna try this recipe asap and i am a hugeee kebab lover and so is my husband and my 2 yr old son
Just one Question…
My oven does not hav any option as “Broil”. Its actually a convection cum microwave and has three options… Microwave, Grill and Convection. I normally use conv. mode for baking (like cakes or pizzas or cookies n stuff) and i hav tried grill mode for tikkas but they didnt come out perfect… the juice would just ooze out and get accumulated in the baking tray. what do i do???
I will be glad if u cud help.
Thanks in advance.
You guys are doing a rocking job. I hav tried some of ur recipes (Chicken Pasanda, Chicken biryani and rasmalai) they all came out FAB!!!!!
Cheers!

Hi Ayesha,

The grill option of your oven should work similar to broil. “Broil” simply means that the heat comes only from the top (as opposed to top and bottom in the convection mode). Also, it is normal to have some of the juices ooze out when you are broiling as well.

You can line your baking tray with some aluminum foil and just let the liquid be there. The foil makes it easy to clean up.
