Mouth Watering Nawabi Special .. Galouti Kebab

Galouti Kebab..  Aaahhh.. I had it first in one of my team outings..I loved it then.. The concept of something melting in mouth allures me... Galouti a.k.a Galawati (something that easily melts) .. These kebabs did pass the test of softness and melting in mouth.. Quite happy to have made it and more than happy to share the recipe with you all..

Here's the recipe..

Galouti Kebab

Ingredients
Minced chicken (1 kg)
Raw grated or mashed papaya (2 tbsp)
Ginger garlic paste (2 tsp)
Red chilli powder (1 tsp)
Chopped coriander (15 gm)
Cardamom powder (1 tsp)
Curd ( 4 tsp)
Javitri / Jaffran powder ( 4 tsp)
Kebab Masala (ready made) (1 tsp)
Green chillies paste (2 tsp)
Garam Masala (2 tsp)
Black pepper powder ( a pinch)
Roasted besan ( 1 small bowl)
Chopped fried brown onions (1 bowl )
Ghee (50 gram)

Procedure
1) Take the minced chicken in a container and add some salt to it.
2)  Add grated raw papaya to it. Mix well.. In no time the papita melts and chicken becomes soft. That's the secret ingredient to make the kebabs Galouti..
3) Add red chilli powder, cardamom powder, fried onions, ginger garlic paste, coriander, green chilly paste, curd, kebab masala, besan, jaffran, all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4) Add 1 tsp ghee.
5) Smoke the mixture with coal. Smoke a small piece of coal. Clear up a little space in the chicken container. Now put the coal piece there. Cover the container for a minute.
You will feel the smoky aroma in the kebab mixture. ( As I didn't have coal pieces handy I replaced the same with a cinnamon stick. :-) )
The kebab mixture is ready.
Cover it with plastic. Let it rest for around 30 minutes. You can refrigerate it too and prepare the kebabs later.. The taste becomes better :-)).
6) Take small portion of the mixture in your palm, prepare medium sized ball and flatten it gently to form round shaped kebab. Repeat the same for the rest of the mixture to have all kebabs ready.
7) Heat a non stick pan. Put some oil.  Shallow fry the kebabs until brown on both the sides.

Yummy, juicy, mouth melting Galouti kebabs are ready. Serve it with a Chutney of your choice.

Enjoy the nawabi food with your loved ones.

Happy cooking!!

Cheers,
Shweta
