Imagine a kebab which is cheesy, is stuffed,
looks like a seekh kebab but is not a seekh kebab.
also, it looks like a chocolate, it looks like a toffee
while this one is 'Chicken Chocolate Kebab'
and it has nothing to do with chocolate.
Let's continue, 'Chicken Chocolate Kebab.'
Now for the 'Chicken Chocolate Kebab', the first ingredient, of course,
is good quality chicken mince, boneless of course.
For this, I generally, prefer a combination of
chicken leg, thigh, as well as the breast.
This goes straight into the mixer jar.
And, to this, I'm also beginning to add in the flavours.
Beginning, with chopped Ginger.
Roughly cut, because all of this is again going to get mixed and grounded.
Lots of Garlic.
While in winters and in season, if you can lay your hands on green garlic.
Absolutely nothing like it.
Spiking this up with lots of Green Chillies.
Coriander leaves, Salt.
And along with this one very important, yet unusual ingredient,
in a kebab, of course, and that is Cream.
Now, this not only makes it creamy but also makes it soft and moist,
at the same time.
We need to cover this and grind this into an absolute smooth paste.
Let's do that.
Our chicken mince is done and ready.
And this technique, is somewhat French in origin.
But you actually make a chicken mousse.
In this way, this method is also kind of used, for making salamis and cold meat.
I'm going to transfer all of this into a deep bowl.
Because, the next step is adding in some spices.
Let's begin with Turmeric powder. Very little, not too much.
Chaat Masala.
Garam masala powder.
and just a little bit of Red Chilli Powder.
Now, this is to bring in that little golden touch to this recipe.
And not spice this, because remember,
ginger is going to spice this wonderfully well.
The garam masala of course has black peppercorn, and also lots of green Chillies.
Let's mix all of this together.
We need to whip this mixture together literally like aerating Egg-whites.
And that's where all the masalas will seep in
right into the chicken wings.
Till this step, if you are wondering, Chicken chocolate kebab?
Well, chicken kebab is of course, right in front of you,
Where is the chocolate?
Here's the answer.
We are going to convert this entire kebab,
into a toffee using, of course, foil paper.
So, let's lay this straight like that.
I've dipped a spoon in room temperature water.
I'm taking a dollop like so and placing this right in the Center.
Now right into the Center of this, I'm going to place a piece of Cheese.
Now, this is of course, processed cheese.
And now comes the real toffee making part,
It's important to push this inwards like so.
We are going to encase this like so into a log, like that.
And then, you twist the two ends of this foil.
And make it look...
like a toffee.
Well, similarly, let's start making in some more toffees.
The last and final step is to cook this chocolate.
For this, I'm going to use a pan.
Place these little toffees straight without any oil to begin with.
After a minute or so we give this a gentle flip.
Now if you understand,
The meat will not take a lot of time to cook,
chicken in this case is going to become very tender,
now, for several reasons, one is because, we've minced it very finely.
Second, it'is actually getting griddled cook.
And the third, and the most important reason for fast cooking
is it's almost cooking in a metal case. Remember that.
Let's flip this over.
Now, if you see closely,
The juice from the chicken is literally bubbling and, that will also help,
in cooking this from within.
Now, to kind of take that to another level,
I'm going to splash in just a little bit of oil and give it a shake.
It's been 4 minutes.
And this kebab...
is perfectly cooked.
Now that our 'Chicken Chocolate Kebab' is done and ready,
I, myself, am extremely intrigued about how this is going to look from within.
So, let us unwrap the chocolate.
If you see this almost like a seekh kebab, which is cooked in a jiffy.
And, so wonderfully juicy.
Cheesy, from within.
and for all those of you who think that the 'Chicken Chocolate Kebab'
would take more than 4 minutes to cook,
this is this perfect cheesy kebab right in front of you.
The most amazing Kebab. Try it.
'Chicken Chocolate Kebab' with this is done and ready.
And, remember what I said, it's cheesy, it's stuffed,
It's almost like a seekh kebab yet not a seekh kebab.
And what I said, it looks like a toffee, and does not have chocolate.
I'm sure you've liked it, your family has liked it, your friends will like it.
Make this for them, and see the joy on their faces.
On that note, stay connected.
And, this is me, the Bombay Chef, Varun Inamdar signing off.
Bye for now.
