Hara Bhara Chicken Kebab

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

"Rain Rain Go Away, Come again another day. We have some plans and you are pouring on our way 🙁 ".. Yes, that's the song I have been singing since morning! It's been 3 days and it's raining non-stop, spoiling all our weekend plans. I know that I am cribbing a little too much and probably will miss the same rain during summer. I guess... that's being human 😉

So, to cheer us up, we decided to make some chicken kebab with lots of herbs and called it Hara Bhara Chicken. 'Hara' in hindi means the color Green and 'Bhara' means whole-sum 🙂 He usually prefers to grill it and that is the kind of cooking he enjoys :), but I wanted to make it easy. So, we baked it and then broiled it. It was cooked to perfection.. every bite was juicy and savory. Also, I made a very easy and simple dip with some yogurt and mint.

    I live in Seattle, we are very used to the rain here and often wish it would go away!. Lovely chicken recipe. I would never have thought to grind spinach into the seasonings. Healthy and delicious looking!

    Hi Dear, Regarding ur q"n about the Foolish bread, some bread goes for pre fremented sponge or starter to make the bread more sponge or more like a professional bread we get from bakeries, This Foolish bread go for the pre fremented starter which goes for flour,dry yeast and warm water,u have to prepare this starter a day before for making this bread..if u dont have that much time to make this starter,u can make the bread directly with flour,yeast and salt, which may turn the bread prefect but not as much as prefect as mine..Hope i cleared ur doubt,else pls lemme know..
