QUICK FIX CHICKEN HARIYALI KEBAB

On weekends, we wish to treat ourselves, family with something different, say some kebabs or fries, cooling down with your favourite wine, relax. There are variety of kebabs, done using varied spices, fish, meat, vegetables. They are prepared in many ways in different regions, countries, from Middle East to South East Asia .

Originally / authentically, may be kebabs were done with lamb or beef. Succulent pieces of meat were marinated using various spices, then roasted on skewers over slow heat. These days, chicken, vegetable, paneer.....anything can be used.

Yesterday was Saturday, I wished to have some kebabs, but was not in mood to dine outside. I had some yogurt and chicken in refrigerator, lazy mind wanted some quick fix chicken kebabs. I was really not in mood to use skewers, then slow cook.....Here goes my quick fix chicken hariyali kebabs we would cook together while listening to some good music.
