Mahesh and I hosted the super bowl game this sunday and I thought, why not replace the chicken wings with something a little more healthy and yet, delicious! So there.. I made this minty-coriander delight. The name 'hariyali' means green.. this is primarily a north Indian entree'.
Ingredients:
3 pounds of boneless chicken breasts
Marinade contents:
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
5 green chillies
1 cup fresh coriander leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 cup yogurt
Salt to taste
Preparation:
Grind the coriander, green chillies and mint into a fine paste (you may use yogurt to make the grinding easy).
Mix this paste with the rest of the ingredients.
Cut the chicken into small size chunks.
Mix with the marinade.
Let it marinate overnight or at least 5-6 hours.
When ready to cook, arrange the chicken cubes into the skewers. If you have veggies (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms etc) you can alternate them with the chicken.
Cook in a conventional oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and then broil for 5-10 minutes.
I strongly suggest cooking chicken "breast-meat" on a grill however, as the oven makes the chicken somewhat dry.
Serve hot with raita and naan!
