Lime and Mint Kebab Recipe
(Serves 4)
Stuff on the skewer:
3 chicken breast fillets, cubed
250 grams paneer (cottage cheese), cubed
2 medium sized onions, quartered and separated
Zucchini, bell peppers or tomatoes will add a nice touch of colour too.
Marinade:
3 heaped tbsp yoghurt
1 tbsp fresh cream
½ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
Juice and zest of 1 lime
Handful of parsley/coriander leaves, chopped
Handful of mint, chopped
Salt
- Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, although overnight would be better.
- Add the paneer cubes to the marinade an hour before grilling.
- Skewer the onions, paneer and chicken and grill till it’s done (5-7 minutes). Turn regularly.
Mint chutney
1 bunch mint
2 green chillies
Salt
Juice of 1 lime
Wash the mint leaves thoroughly. While still wet, whizz up all the ingredients of the chutney in the mixer. If you’d like it less spicy, you might want to add just one chilli. This is brilliant as a dip, for basting or simply spooned over the kebabs.
