Steamed chicken kebabs

Hello everyone!!!This is Sabaa inviting you all and myself too for the very first blog of my experiences in my Matbakh, and for all those who dont know what it means, it is an arabic word for kitchen.

 

Allow me to please share with you the reason behind my love for cooking. It initially started with learning to cook, for the basic reason that every girl should be able to cook to make her husband and in laws happy, because as  they say 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach'. I found that i impressed all with my skills but him and well my hubby is a bit difficult  to impress ;)

One day after trying too hard to impress him with my culinary skills, I angrily asked him to explain to me his food preferences. At a friends house  while reading a newspaper he showed me the below photograph of a chicken dish which really looked very tempting and asked me to cook it.

 Thus started my quest for the ingredients to cook this dish and after endless Google searches, I finally got this recipe :)

Steamed chicken kebabs

Ingredients:

2 pieces of chicken breast ( chopped roughly)

1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste

1/2 tsp chilli paste

1/2 cup spring onions ( chopped)

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1 slice of bread ( chopped roughly)

1/4 cup spinach ( chopped)

Sprinkling of cheese (optional)

1 tbsp oil

Salt as per taste

Method:

1.      In a mixer, grind chicken, ginger garlic paste, spring onions, cumin powder and bread into a coarse paste.

2.       Season it with salt and divide the entire mixture into two equal portions.

3.       Place one portion of this mixture on a rectangular sheet of aluminium foil and flatten it with the back of a spoon.

4.       Sprinkle spinach and cheese on top and fold the paste into a thick roll like a swiss roll, wrap this mixture by folding the foil paper and steam it in a pressure cooker or dim sum steamer for 15 mins.

5.        Unwrap the foil and cut the kebabs into thick circles.

6.        Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce , cabbage and lemon wedges.
