Kebab Mourgh

Hey everyone...Hope you all had a wonderful weekend....I had a lovely one too...We went on a lovely drive on the pacific coast with the ocean just next to us......It was a beautiful sight to see the vast ocean so close and sea gulls flying along with us...It was also for the first time in my life that I dared to eat sea food....I had some reservations for sea food and never gave it a try....And now I am wondering WHY?????????

Coming to today's recipe,it is for Saji of http://thesaji.blogspot.com from her 50 recipes from 50 countries in 50 days event...Her blog is a year old and she is having a giveaway , in which we have to post a recipe from her collection.....I chose to make this kebab from her lovely collection of recipes from all over the world....

All you need is

Chicken breast-2 {cut into small pieces }

Lemon juice-3 tsp

Salt to taste

Garam masala-1\2 tsp

Red chili powder- 1 tsp

Yogurt-2 tbsp

Saffron-1 pinch

Butter- 1 tbsp

Oil-3 tbsp

Green bell pepper-1

Onion-1

Method of preparation

In a bowl ,mix together chicken, lemon juice, salt, garam masala, red chili powder, 2 tbsp oil and yogurt

Marinate for 4-5 hours

Melt butter in  a bowl and add saffron and 1 tbsp oil

Cut bell pepper and onion into small cubes

Thread the chicken ,bell pepper and onion onto the skewers

Brush with saffron butter

Grill on a grill pan or barbeque till the chicken is cooked

I have made chicken kababs before, but never added saffron to it...Addition of saffron gave it a very unique flavor which was pleasant to the palate...Thnx Saji for this wonderful recipe....
