Chicken Takiya Kabab

Most of my friends are damn fan of Chicken and quite mad for Kababs. This Chicken Takiya Kabab was an experiment with the intention to serve them something new. Such name of this dish was given because of its resemblance to the Takiya (Or pashbalish) !! The best part of this dish is that you don’t need oven or griller!!!! So, if u are a Chicken Lover, then it’s a must try for you this winter. Go ahead and indulge your taste buds.. 

Preparation Time : 45 mins, Cooking Time: 30 mins, Serving: 2-3

Ingredients:

1. Chicken Breast Fillet – 2
2. Yogurt – 100 gm
3. Onion – 2 medium
4. Garlic- 4-6 cloves
5. Ginger Paste – 2 Tbsp
6. Red Chilli Powder – 1 Tsp
7. Garam Masala Powder – 1 Tsp
8. Salt - to taste
9. Butter - 1" cube

For Stuffing (which resembles the cotton inside the Takiya) :

1. Paneer grated – 150 grams
2. Capsicum (Finely chopped) – 1 small
3. Tomato (Finely chopped) – 1 small
4. Green Chilli (Finely chopped) – 2
5. Fresh Coriander leave (Finely chopped)  – as required
6. Sugar – 1 Tsp
7. Salt-  to taste

For garnishing (if u bother):

1. Lemon Juice – 1 Tbsp
2. Onion Slice – as required

Method:

1. First, pat the Chicken Breast Fillets to make it flat. Then marinate the Fillets with Yogurt, Ginger paste, grated onion, grated garlic, red chilli powder, salt and garam masala powder for at least half an hour.
2. In the mean time, prepare the stuffing. Mix all the ingredients for staffing together and keep it.
3. When the chicken is well marinated, place half of the stuffing in one fillet and roll it. It gives the shape of a Takiya !
4. Make the other Takiya following the same way.
5. Now, wrap the rolled takiya in aluminium foil.
6. Heat some water in a pan and boil the takiyas for 20 mins in water.
7. Now, unwrap the chicken from aluminium foil and cut into 2-3 pcs.
8. Heat a non-stick fry pan and add some butter into it.
9. Sauté the chicken pcs. in the butter for 2-3 mins. At this stage, you may add the excess marinade into the pan and fry it too. It tastes awesome, believe me !!
10. When it gets the golden brown colour, remove it from heat. Sprinkle some lemon juice and serve hot with sliced onion.
