Hey guys! This is me the Bombay Chef Varun Inamdar and welcome to 'Get Curried'
I am showing you Turkish Kebabs
and trust me they are fantastic.
Turkish Style Shish Taouk.
The first thing is to take Chicken thighs, boneless of course
clean them well and cut them into like an inch cubes
and then we are going to marinate them.
Let's take this in a larger bowl
and time to marinate this.
But before marinating the Chicken
we also need to tenderize this.
I am using Milk as a tenderizer.
Let's mix this well and allow this to stay in for at least ten to twelve minutes.
Well, if you are looking at an alternative for milk
you can use Buttermilk or you can just rely on Curd.
The next thing that goes in is some Curd.
Now in case you are wondering Curd again?
Well, that's only if you are using Curd as a tenderizer
then do not go for Milk
just add in two tbsp of Curds
and that's about it
and then you do not need any other tenderizer.
To this, I am adding in sweet Paprika
for that beautiful color and also that undertone of sweetness.
Next is some Chilli Flakes
along with All Spice Powder,
Salt,
freshly cracked Black Pepper,
and along with this Oil.
Well in these Kebabs, authentically, extra virgin Olive Oil is used.
You can lay your hands on that, nothing like it.
Rub this marinade well on to the pieces of Chicken
and keep this aside for ten minutes.
In that time, let's grind a paste of White Onions,
Garlic,
Cumin seeds.
Let's grind the paste of White Onions
along with Cloves of Garlic
and untoasted Cumin Seeds.
Onion paste is done and ready
let's have a quick check.
Let's mix this into the marination
and mix all this well now.
Well our Shish Taouk is marinated and ready.
You can keep this aside for thirty minutes
or if you have no time at hand
let's begin.
Now for Shish Taouk here
I have these metal skewers or these metal rods
In case you do not have these
you can also use wooden sticks or wooden skewers
The only thing is, just keep them in water for at least say half an hour
forty-five minutes
so that the sticks do not get burnt
while cooking on open flame.
I am going to take two skewers here but they are extremely thin.
If you see
they are not really thick so I am taking two of these
and ensuring that I lace the Tikkas beautifully well
when I say Tikkas
Shish Taouk
Now these are skewered and ready
The next step is to give the pieces of Chicken grill marks.
The Chicken is done and ready
let's transfer this
on the same grill
I am also going to place
a Pita Bread or a Lavash
whatever you can lay your hands on
and grill this.
The last step is to grill some vegetables
let's add in just a little bit of regular Vegetable Oil
The Oil is nice and hot, let me throw in some White Onions
just cut them into thick slices
ripe Tomatoes
just cut them in halves
and along with this
some whole Green Chillies
you can also throw in some cloves of Garlic.
It's going to be fun.
While these vegetables are getting grilled
I am going to add in just a touch of Salt
and maybe if you are looking at some more flavour
freshly cracked Black Pepper
another thirty-forty seconds on the grill
and with this, your Turkish Style Shish Taouk is done and ready
all you need to now do is assemble all of this beautifully on a platter
and that's about it.
With this your Turkish Style Shish Taouk is done and ready.
Make this for your family, make this for your friends
and you would have realised by now
it's so easy.
If you have suggestions for me

Like I always say
stay tuned.
Bye for now.
