Hello everyone!
Asslam u alaikum!
How are you Friends?
Today is 23rd of January 2026. Its Friday. Weather is very cold because it rained at night.
So I decided to make chicken kabab.for this I took guide line from my wife who tell me the recipe of kabab. Here is the complete process that I followed.
Below is the complete traditional process, step by step.
Chicken Kebab (Charcoal Style)
Ingredients
For the chicken
1 kg chicken (boneless thighs or breast, cut into medium cubes)
For marinade
½ cup thick yogurt (curd)
2 tbsp ginger–garlic paste
2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
2 tbsp oil (mustard oil preferred, but any works)
1½ tsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1½ tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp paprika or Kashmiri chili powder (for color)
Salt to taste
Optional: ½ tsp black pepper
Optional: ½ tsp chaat masala
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, add yogurt.
Whisk until smooth (no lumps).
Add all spices, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, and salt.
Mix well to form a thick, smooth marinade.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
Add chicken pieces to the marinade.
Mix thoroughly so every piece is coated.
Cover and refrigerate:
Minimum: 2 hours
Step 3: Skewer the Chicken
Use metal skewers (best for charcoal cooking).
Thread chicken pieces evenly, leaving small gaps for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the skewer.
Step 4: Prepare the Charcoal Grill
Light charcoal and let it burn until red-hot with white ash.
Spread charcoal evenly in the grill.
Place skewers about 4–6 inches above the charcoal.
Step 5: Grill the Chicken
Place skewers on the grill.
Turn every 2–3 minutes for even cooking.
Baste occasionally with oil or butter.
Cook for 12–15 minutes until:
Outside is golden-brown and slightly charred
Inside is fully cooked and juicy
Optional Smoky Flavor (Dhungar Method)
If cooking indoors or want extra smoke:
Heat a piece of charcoal until red-hot.
Place it in a small bowl inside the cooked chicken.
Drizzle a little oil or ghee on the coal.
Cover immediately for 2–3 minutes.
Very tasty kababs are ready.I would like to suggest that you should also make it. I am sure that you will like my post and encourage me.
Regards!
