We all love to eat kebabs, be it vegetarian kebabs or non-vegetarian kebabs. Today I will share with you the recipe of a very delicious kebab, that is chicken gilafi kebab. Gilaf means cover and thus Gilafi means covering . So Gilafi Kebab means a kebab with a covering. These Kebab are gilaf or covered by chopped coloured bell pepper or capsicum and onion. If you want, you can skip using onion here. I did not use onion.
It is cooked in an Ovalclay Tandoor or BBQ or in Oven or you can shallow fry in tawa using less oil. I made chicken gilafi kebab on tawa with less oil. These kebabs are generally considered as a healthy food as they are not deep fried, less amount of oil is used to make them.
how to make chicken gilafi kebab.
First we will mince the chicken pieces . You can buy a ready made chicken mince but it is always good to use a self minced chicken. Take boneless chicken pieces in a mixer grinder and mix with garlic, ginger and Indian aromatic spices to make chicken paste.
For Gilafi
chop the bell peppers or capsicum finely. After wet your hand in cold water. Take the chicken minced kebab mixture and roll it in evenly in cylinderical shape. Roll this chicken kebab in the capsicum mixture, to cover it entirely. Turn on the flame, in a grill pan add oil and shallow fry both the sides. Serve it with coriander pudina chutney and onion.
