For long I have been talking about all my favorites, its time to explore one of my hubby's favorites. Raj truly is a Chicken-aholic....He can eat it every meal, 7 days a week and 365 days a year provided it matches his spice level and this is the food choice we both share equally. Having said that lamb and mutton are the second favorites. So when we are unable to make a choice between chicken or mutton those nights are kabob nights.Recently we had friends over for dinner and it was one of those nights where we couldn't decide so then lamb and chicken kabob platter was the right choice. Its really a good option when a big group is getting together.
Even in kabobs I am partial towards the reshmi and malai kabobs as they are mild and more flavorful, the sweetness of the cream and freshness of the herbs make them very delectable. Raj is more fond of the spicier ones the sheekh, chapali and shami kabobs. Even though these kabobs would traditionally be made in a 'tandoor' (clay oven) they can be easily replicated in an conventional oven. Also the fat content can easily be modified as per our taste and choice (See the nutritionist in me never rests) as well as the type of meat. its also such a easy to fix meal. Just prep up the kabobs the night before and cook fresh as the guests start arriving.
So this weekend I made some chicken reshmi kabobs, lamb sheekh kabobs and chicken shami kabobs. Served them hot with some naan, raita, biryani rice and not only got a big thumbs up from Raj but also a 5 stars from a dear friend.
