Today on the Pakistani Kitchen Blog,
I'm creating wonderful Afghan chicken kebabs and serving them with a tasty sauce and rice. Let me give you a quick rundown of this recipe. We'll start with our chicken marinade and leave it to marinade for one day before grilling it. We're going to start with our lovely cobbly rice and those raisins carrots, and then we're going to have our beef with tomato sauce. green chili, onions, fresh coriander Oh yeah, you're going to love this. Without further ado, let's get started. Let's get this party started. First and foremost, make a ball out of plain yogurt. You'll now want to add some crushed garlic to the mix.
Now for the spices, we'll start with red chili powder, which you can add more or less of depending on your preferences. 2 tbsp. powdered coriander merely a smidgen. Paprika powder (about a teaspoon) A bout a teaspoon of turmeric powder A pinch of black pepper, a dash of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil or sunflower oil. give it a really excellent mash-up. Now I'm going to add the chicken breast, which I'm going to cut into medium cubes, wash my hands, and give this a really good mix. You could use chicken thighs or a combination of chicken thighs and breasts.It's not a problem; just give it a thorough stir and let it marinate overnight or for at least five hours. Okay, that looks amazing.
I'm just going to put it in the fridge overnight, so that's how our chicken looks after a day of marinating. Grab a dish and these skewers, too. Now, all you have to do is take a piece of chicken and start threading it onto the skewers.Now you want to put about five pieces on each skewer. Okay, very nicely
marinated, exactly what we were looking for. Got it right here all right. So this one looks great. I know it's going to get messy, but don't worry about that. Grab another one. Like I said before, you don't have to use chicken breasts. You can use chicken thighs as well. You know it's not a problem. Another thing
you can do is you can also add onions or peppers along with this, but today I'm going to So these look great now. They're ready to go in the oven all right, so grab your grill tray and I'm going to start putting this chicken on there. It looks amazing trust me. So these go in the grill. The grill is on high temperature. Okay, I'm going to let them grill for around 25 minutes, turning them every six to seven minutes. I'm not sure if you can see this, but these are beautifully cooked.
So I'm just going to turn it and let them cook on the other side as well. Look at that, so you just want to keep doing this until they're nice and golden brown on all sides. Brush them with a generous amount of clarified butter to give them a nice color and add a little more flavor to our Afghan chicken kebabs.So this goes back on the grill, all right? For the rice, you want the heat to be around medium, so throw
approximately three huge teaspoons of oil in there, one, two, and three, and let them get nice and hot.
Let's check that the onions are getting nice and brown, just light brown here. You can always add a touch of water to ensure nothing burns all right. So the onions have a nice light brown color at this point in time. We're going to add in our ginger, garlic, and green chili paste. This will take a few minutes, so let's check that the onions are getting nice and brown. So the onions have a nice light brown color at this point. You can always add a touch of water to ensure nothing burns all the way through.
So the ginger, garlic, and green chili have a bit of color at this point, so we're going to add our whole spices here. I've got some black cardamom, green cardamom, cassia bark, bale leaves, and cloves. I'm just going to throw in our ground spices here. I've got some cumin powder, garam masala, black pepper, and salt.A grain of rice For every cup of rice, you want to add one and a half cups of water. Now we're
going to throw in our rice. This rice has been soaked in water for at least an hour and a half because
this is sailor basmati rice. If you're using regular basmati rice, it'll take around half an hour. Now once
you finish soaking your rice, you need to wash them and remove the excess starch as well as give this a mix. We want to cook this until We just want to keep cooking this now that there's some water left
in there and I want to cook my carrots, so I'm just going to throw those carrots on top just like that, spread them around. You don't have to mix this. Okay, just leave them here on the top because when
we steam our carrots, they'll start cooking and it'll partially cook right now. It's not a problem all right,
so at this point you can do whatever you want.
That's properly sealed, and we're going to steam this for about 12 to 15 minutes on low heat. All right, so the moment of truth, let's check our rice. Oh man, that looks amazing, all those beautiful sultanas. I'm just going to fluff it up and you can turn off the heat at this point. Oh man, that beauty is amazing, just have a look at that beautiful rice amazing for the sauce. Add the tomatoes I've removed For the
