Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Marinade

  • Marinate the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste and salt. Set aside for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer for deeper flavor.

Make the Besan Paste

  • Heat oil in a pan. Add minced ginger, garlic, and green chilies; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the chickpea flour (besan) and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden and releases a nutty aroma (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and stir in the milk until smooth. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Final Marinade

  • In a bowl, combine the cooled besan paste with hung curd, cardamom powder, dried fenugreek leaves, lemon juice, and salt. Gently mix in the marinated chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for another hour.

Assemble and Cook the Kebabs

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, packing them tightly together. Gently shape the kebabs with your hands.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Lightly grease the skewers with butter (optional) and bake for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Egg Glaze

  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg, saffron water, chopped cashews, and coriander.

Glaze and Finish

  • Remove the kebabs from the oven. Generously coat them with the egg mixture, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
  • Return the kebabs to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the egg glaze is set and golden brown. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra browning (watch closely to prevent burning).
  • Garnish with chaat masala (optional) and serve hot.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Murgh Banno Kebabs

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Don't overcrowd the skewers; leave some space between the chicken pieces for even cooking.
  • If you don't have an oven, you can cook these kebabs on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of garam masala to the final marinade.
