Method

Mix chicken cubes in marinade and set aside for a few hours - anywhere from 2 to 6 hours should be good. Agar aap ko zarurat se zyada jaldi hai, can also be used for half an hour, although chicken might not be as tender. Once done marinading (marinating?) skewer chicken, alternating with onion and capsicum cubes. I don’t really like tomatoes, so I didn’t add those but feel free to add whatever veggies you like.

Meanwhile, whisk together ingredients listed for garlic raita and that’s it, you’re done with it. Put in the fridge and forget about it for at least an hour. No reason, just because.

Next, the rice. Heat olive oil, dump in the garlic and onion. Once translucent or light golden, add the rice. Season and add the rest of the veggies. Give it a good stir and fry on high heat for a couple minutes, then turn it off.

Oil a grill pan - grill pan is necessary for the wonderful black char. Ordinary pans don’t give it that look - and please make sure to oil it properly. Fry the skewers until charred on both sides. Try and keep the turning of the skewers to a minimum, because otherwise it won’t cook properly.

Okay, now just present it nicely, take a couple pictures and devour it. Duaon mein yaad rakhein, mehrbani.

P.S. It can also be served with toasted pita bread, the rice are optional. But you knew that. Acha, bye.

Mango Chaat

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this. I think I'm missing an important piece in my brain/nervous system so pls. Stop with the judgy. That random HOW-DARE-YOU-EVEN-EXIST-YOU-HEATHEN tidbit aside, everyone else I know is insaaaaaane about mangoes. Thought I'd try this on poor innocent guests and the family loved it too. If you're a fruit person (of course you are), try it! ( Original recipe I took from @spicespoon's Instagram , adjusted it a little bit here).
