  The veggy kabobs are very moist, light and easy to make.I came up with this recipe accidentally but turned out really good. The texture is that of chicken and most of them won't figure it out that its not chicken.For vegetarians it is going to be a treat.

1/2 Cup Cooking Oil

Chicken Cori Kabob

If you're thinking of making something quick and easy for Iftar, try this Chicken cori(ander) kabob. I named it so because coriander leaves are the main ingredient which gives the color and adds flavor to the kabob. We happened to have a similar kabob long back in a restaurant. I tried making my own version of the kabob a few times, every time adding or avoiding an ingredient from the list. Finally I think I got the right combination. Its simple, easy, quick to make and tastes great. If you do not have an oven, no worries, just make patties and shallow fry them over the stove with very little oil.

INGREDIENTS:

1lb Chicken Breast pieces 

1 Cup Chopped Coriander Leaves

2 Tablespoons Ginger Garlic Paste

4 Green Chillies 

1 Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Slices Plain Bread

1 Egg

2 Teaspoons Olive/Canola/ Vegetable Oil

METHOD:

    Clean the chicken pieces, coriander leaves and green chillies.

    Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare a cookie tray by lining with aluminum foil and apply oil on the foil just to make sure the kabobs don't  stick to the foil.

    Place the chicken pieces in a food processor and pulse it few times to mince it. Then add all the other ingredients together and run the processor just to breakdown all the ingredients and form a lump.

Remove it to a plate and check for salt, and add more if needed.

To this, add the olive oil, mix and keep aside.

Get the skewers ready by cleaning and applying oil to it.

Now roll the chicken along the skewers like a tube.

Place the skewers on the prepared trays and bake for about 20 mins, turning once in between.

When timer is done check by inserting a toothpick. If it comes out clean, remove from oven and let it cool down a bit. 

Using a fork, push the kabobs out of the skewers onto a plate, slice and serve.
