Kababs are the most versatile of all culinary treats. For these kebab beef, lamb or chicken mince can be used; keep in mind the mince should not have too much fat.

Mince Cutlets / Mince Kababs

Cutlets, another form of kababs, are another popular delight in my family. They are quick to make & can be a main dish along with lentil curry; or served as a side dish within an elaborate entertainment menu; or as a snack served with chutney & salad; or a quick meal for kids by putting between buns to make a home made burger. My children often like to eat these during hot summer days topped with sliced cucumbers & onions, pickles, ketchup or chili sauce. They can be made with lamb, beef or chicken mince. You can get as creative as you want with kababs.

Chicken Tandoori Masala

I came up with this combination, during a day which had me craving for something smoky, something chicken and something spicy. It serves well with tandoori naan, parathas, puri or even pita bread. Go crazy. You can use cayenne pepper instead of Kashmiri red chili; I find the latter gives a wonderfully vibrant colour to the dish - it's available in most South Asian spice selling stores. But no need to stress if you can't find it - just use cayenne pepper.

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients:
Boneless or Bone-in Chicken: 500g
Garlic Paste: 2.5tsp
Ginger Paste: 1.5tsp
Lemon Juice: 1 lemon
Oil: 3Tbsp
Onions: 2 medium; peeled & blended with a little water
Yogurt: 0.5cup
Kashmiri Chili Powder: 0.5tsp
Turmeric Powder: 0.5tsp
Salt: to taste
Coriander Powder 1.5Tbsp
Garam Masala: 1tsp
Butter: 2tsp
Cilantro: 1Tbsp, chopped
Green Chilies: 1-2, chopped (optional)

Directions:
1. Marinate chicken with 0.5tsp garlic paste, 0.5tsp ginger paste & lemon juice. Keep aside for 45 minutes.
2. Heat 2tbsp oil & add in the blended onions.
3. In a cup, mix in yogurt, Kashmiri red chili, turmeric powder, salt, coriander powder, garam masala, 0.5tsp of garlic paste & 0.5tsp of ginger paste.
4. When onion becomes translucent, add in 0.5tsp garlic paste & fry for a few mins.
5. Add in yogurt mixture into frying onion with 1tsp garlic paste & 0.5tsp ginger paste.
6. Fry well adding water to stop burning. Don't dump in oodles amount of water; just enough spritzes to stop burning & sticking to the pan.
7. Fry chicken in another pan with butter and 1Tbsp oil, till the chicken turns color.
8. Add chicken to the frying onion - yogurt mixture & cook a bit more.
9. Light up a coal till it's demonic red and place in a piece of foil. Put this smoking hot coal into the cooked chicken pot & cover tightly. Smoke it well.
10. Garnish with chopped cilantro & green chilies.

I usually cook haleem during the winter months, or when I'm entertaining or when it's a haleem kind of mood. I have modified Parin's recipe, by adding small of portions of barley & whole wheat.

Nihari

Nihari is native to Delhi, India; popular in Punjab and mostly enjoyed during the cooler months of the year. The dish is typically cooked all night on slow heat in a large cooking pot. It's enjoyed with naan bread, freshly chopped ginger, green chilies & lemon juice.
I was given this recipe by my mother's friend, Khanam Aunty. At the time, I had started cooking so Khanam Aunty gave me a simplified version of this otherwise rather complex dish. I first served it in Abu Dhabi to my husband, before making it part of entertainment menu. Nihari is a favorite family meal; my daughters love combining it with rice; my son & husband prefer it with naan; my daughter in law saves a portion to enjoy for breakfast.
