An Easy Recipe for Restaurant-like Murgh Reshmi Kebab
Ingredients
- 250 gms boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp fresh cream
- 2 tbsp thick curd
- 1-1½ tbsp Lemon Juice
- ½ tsp Black pepper powder
- 1½ tsp garlic-ginger paste
- 2 tbsp Coriander leaves chopped
- 5 almonds
- 8 cashews
- salt as needed
Instructions
- Blend together cashews, almonds, curd and cream into a smooth paste, and mix lemon juice, pepper, ginger-garlic, coriander and salt. Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts using kitchen tissues. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and marinate the chicken with the prepared mixture and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven at 240° C for about 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, sew the marinated chicken on the skewers and once the oven is ready, grill them for about 15-20 minutes. Flip them and continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes. Switch the mode to broil and then grill for 2 more minutes to get the charred effect.
- Brush them with molten butter and serve hot with mint chutney, lemon wedges and pickled onions.
Recipe Notes
Recipe Tip You can also use cheese instead of cashews and almonds. If you're using cheese, then simply whisk it with curd and cream rather than blending it.

You can use low-fat yoghurt or Greek yoghurt instead of hung or thick curd. Can I use metal skewers in the oven? You can use steel skewers rather than any other metal. However, wooden skewers are the best when using in the oven. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes before using.
