Chicken Malai Kebab

Chicken is marinated with loads of cream before grilling the same. This is why Murgh Reshmi kebab is called Chicken Malai Kebab. A few selected spices are used as part of the marinade. This kebab is known for the silky texture of the meat.

Homemade Chicken Reshmi Kebab

Cooking is a passion for me but the lethargic me does not like to invest huge time in cooking. I prefer fuss-free arrangements and also use of locally available ingredients while cooking. Kebab is something I often make whenever I have to attend guests at home. This is especially when the gathering is in the evening after office.

For me, time management is the main thing but without compromising the demand of the family and friends for their portion of the food that I Prepare. A few of my friends prefer Chicken over red meat and to be specific the Chicken Malai Kebab I make with Cheese. This is a bit different from the typical Chicken Malai Kebab or Reshmi Kebab or the Murg Malai Tikka as I use a mixture of Cheese and Cream as marination and a few spices to make the said Kebab or Kabab.

The easiest part for making the Chicken Malai Kebab is that, after marinating the chicken rest of the things done just the time of making the Kebab. The recipe I use to make Murgh Malai Kebab is kind loosely based on the Chicken Cheese Kebab found in Arsalan in Kolkata. Mostly Chicken Reshmi Kebab is prepared based on the marination of Malai, Cashew nut paste, and yogurt; however, an addition of little cheese gives it more richness and makes tastier. I don't use nut paste while making the Malai Kebab though. I prefer to use very limited spices I don't compromise on the marination time. The more you marinate the meat, the chance of getting soft and delicious Kebab.

Finally coming to the grilling part, I use an OTG to make the Murg Malai Kebab. Traditionally, though charcoal grilling is done and that gives an amazing aroma to the Chicken Malai Kebab for sure. However, for making the Kebab in a modern kitchen these days, it is not possible to opt for the charcoal grilling. Moreover, whenever, I use Cheese while making Kebab, I prefer to use the OTG.

Pasta loves the lightly spiced Murgh Malai Kebab with Cheese along with little onions and Green Chutney.  She prefers the way Restaurants serve the  Kebab and hence I try to make the Restaurant Style Chicken Malai Kabab to please my little one and her appetite. I make the Green Chutney at home and preserve for a few days in the fridge for further use.
