• 2 tbsp Cooking Oil (vegetable oil or ghee for frying)

Instructions

1. Initial Chicken Marination

   Sprinkle 1 tsp salt over the 500 g boneless chicken, toss to coat evenly, and let it sit for 30 minutes so the meat tenderizes.

2. Fry and Crush Onions

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium heat, add the 2 large onions and fry until golden brown, then remove and hand‑crush them while still warm.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: medium heat

3. Prepare Kebab Mixture

   In the food processor combine the fried onions, 1 tbsp ginger‑garlic paste, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp garam masala, 1 tsp red chilli powder, the marinated chicken, 2 tbsp roasted gram flour, ½ tsp salt and 2 tbsp softened butter. Grind until a smooth, cohesive paste forms.
