Pahadi Kebab

Description

Pahadi kebabs are delicious nuggets of chicken marinated in mint, coriander, garlic and ginger and tenderized with hung yogurt.

This is skewered and barbecued to delicious perfection. I first tried this in India when my dad ordered some Indian takeout from a local kebab place and I was hooked. As soon as I got back I had to try to recreate it and I’m happy to report that I got it all figured out. Although this kebab looks very similar to a hare kebab or a hariyali kebab, it does have a distinct taste that sets it apart. This is my second recipe version of this kebab. This one is a bit more complex using gram flour to bind the marinade and mustard oil for that distinct aroma when the kebabs are cooked.

Pahadi kebabs are not as well known as some of it’s cousin kebabs. To me it’s somewhere in between a Reshmi kebab and a Hariyali Kebab.
