Hariyali Chicken Kebab

If you are a fan of grilled chicken and like the fresh, herby taste, Hariyali Chicken Kebab is your go-to dish. "Hariyali" is a Hindi word that translates to "green," and the dish takes its name from the bright green marinade prepared using a blend of fresh herbs and spices. Our Hariyali Chicken Kebab at The Great Horn Bill is one of the favorite starters on our menu, and for good reason.

The chicken is marinated in a mixture of mint, coriander (also known as cilantro), green chilies, yogurt, and a combination of all the spices that are typical in Indian cuisine. Not only does this mixture give the chicken its vibrant green color, but it also has a cooling and tangy flavor that is different than the typical hot kebabs we serve. The yogurt in the marinade works as a meat tenderizer so that the chicken is still soft and juicy and will have flavor when it's finished grilling. After marinating, the chicken pieces are threaded onto skewers and then cooked in a customary clay tandoor (oven), imparting a mild smokiness. The result is a crispy exterior, juicy interior, and full of the earthy, herby flavor of green ingredients just harvested.

Hariyali Chicken Kebab is an ideal choice for people who prefer a little less spice but still want strong flavors. It's also a favorite among health-conscious eaters because it's grilled instead of fried and contains natural ingredients such as herbs and yogurt. This recipe is usually served along with mint chutney, wedges of lemon, and onion rings, which add to the freshness and provide a zing. We prepare this kebab with only premium-quality ingredients to minimize any unwelcome impact on the taste and texture. If you have a special place in your heart for tandoori dishes, this kebab will make a long-lasting impression on you. It is a dish that encapsulates the essence of Indian grilling with a green and healthy touch.
