Reshmi or Resham in Hindi means silk and these kebabs with their delicate taste and texture feel like silk in your mouth. This Mughlai Kebab is insanely popular. It’s served on it’s own and is also always included in a Kebab platter together with Chicken Tikka, Seekh and Hara Kebabs. I’m going to use the delicious Litehouse Ceasar dressing to make a shortcut version of this recipe.

 

Boneless Chicken is used in this recipe, and marinated in a combination of Caesar dressing, lime juice, garlic, chili & herbs. A traditional Reshmi Kebab is marinated in cream, cheese and or cashew paste with pepper & herbs before cooking it in a tandoor. For those of us that don’t have a tandoor, a gas bbq works really well.

 

I love recipe development and a challenge, and when a large box of salad dressings arrived at my house, I couldn’t wait to turn them into something spectacular. My hubby asked me what I planned to do with all that dressing and when I told him I was going to make a kebab, he thought I had lost my mind J I knew the creaminess & freshness of the product would be the perfect marinade for chunks of chicken. I also used lime juice, garlic, chili, fresh mint and coriander together with fresh black pepper to bump up the flavor. On a hot grill the parmesan in this dressing helps to turn the chicken beautifully golden brown.
