I’ve been making this very simple Tandoori Chicken Cutlet kebabs for over 25 years. They are so simple to prepare and a great crowd pleaser! The ingredients in this recipe are super simple, add Tandoori Masala and some other basic ingredients to ground Chicken, mix, cook and enjoy!

Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish made by marinating chicken in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then roasting it in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven. The marinade typically includes ingredients like yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric and chilli pepper, along with lemon juice for acidity. The result is a flavorful, slightly charred, and tender chicken with a distinctive red-orange color, often due to the use of food coloring or natural ingredients like red chilli powder.

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients well together.
  • Since the kebab meat is very soft, I prefer to use gloves ad it’s easier to handle
  • Once the meat is all mixed well, take a golf ball size of the mixture and form into small patties
  • This batch will yield 22 – 24 patties
  • Once ready it’s time to simply shallow fry the cutlets on both sides Once they are cooked all the way through, remove and drain on some kitchen towel.
