Coming back to the recipe, if you love kebabs and BBQ you are gonna love the fact you found this recipe. I personally think this is the best kebab recipe I came across. So succulent and juicy that these hot kebabs are going to get over in a blink of an eye. So watch out! hahaha (Keep some for yourself, or else you will regret it later, I did!) 🙍 

Hard and dry Kebabs are my pet peeves! I found this recipe from a group of sisters and it was the trending dish, so I knew I had to make it! I would have regretted if I hadn't tried it. You just can't enjoy your kebabs if they aren't tender and juicy. Kebabs are like the staple food in middle eastern cuisine and the origin is also stated to be from the middle east. Yet they are relished, cooked and enjoyed all over the world. There are many variants and styles kebabs are prepared in. For me its always sheesh kebab. I just love them. I am sure you will love them too.



Kebabs are so delicious yet the easiest to prepare; it isn't deep fried and so doesn't require a lot of oil. I have used a grill pan here, you may use a non-stick fry pan. I love those stripes on my kebabs and grilling on a grill pan makes it even more succulent. The coconut powder and cream are the secrets to a successful tummy-kush kebab. The tender Chicken breasts is a game changer, you get them in supermarkets, it plays a big role to make the chicken even juicier. If you can't find them, you may brine them for half an hour to 45 minutes. You can do this by soaking the chicken in a solution of 4 cups of warm water and 1/4 cup of salt and a couple of tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This step isn't necessary but will help you attain juicy kebabs, you can totally omit it, it doesn't matter, it's just a tip of mine. I have been wanting to share this recipe since so long now. And finally, it is time to reveal the RECIPE OF THE JUCIEST KEBABS you are ever going to make!

I created the recipe for the soup many years ago when I felt I wasn't satisfied with the soup ideas on the internet then. Me and my family was ill and I didn't want to eat anything, like duh? This soup is so wholesome, it has veggies, chicken and oats, which is perfect for your metabolism, especially when you are ill. I am not a big fan of kanji (A South Indian rice water soup/porridge). I do not like to have kanji for than a day. Hence this recipe happened.


Since it is a soup it contains water which is most essential when you catch a cold or fever. And it contains oats, which has carbs and fiber and many other essential nutrients. You may add in any veggies like carrots, beans, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms (I like to sautee my mushrooms and then add them to the soup) etc. This soup is a perfect dinner idea too, especially in this weather, it is heavenly! It is so simple... doesn't even take half an hour from start to finish. Not only does it taste delicious it fills your heart and soul with warmth which is why I named it chicken soup for the soul! Happy taysting! 😋

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

• If using mushrooms you may saute them in little butter/olive oil and add in a splash of soy sauce when the mushroom gets done and salt if required.
• You may use the white part of the spring onions chopped finely, and sautee when you add in the onions.

Pancake Batter: 

• 1/2  cup warm water
• 1/2 tsp active dried yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/4 cup milk

1. In a large mixing bowl combine warm water with yeast and sugar. (Do not kill the yeast by pouring in hot water, it just needs to be warm) 
2. Set aside for 10 minutes. Then add milk.
3. In the meantime, combine the rest of the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
   
4. Add the dry ingredients into the milk mixture gradually and whisk creating the pancake batter without lumps.
   
5. Set aside the batter for 15-20 minutes to give the yeast time to wake up.
   
6. Preheat a non-greased non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Pour ⅛ of a cup of batter into a preheated skillet and fry the pancake on one side until the top surface is no longer shiny about 2-3 minutes.
   
8. The bubbles created during the frying process is a good indication that yeast in the batter is working properly.
9. Once the surface is dry and no longer shiny remove the pancake onto a clean kitchen towel and cover to prevent it from drying out. Continue with the rest of the batter. Adjust the heat as needed so the bottom part of the pancake doesn't burn.
10. Let the pancakes cool and keep them covered under a kitchen towel to keep them from drying.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

Rose Scented Sugar Syrup :

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon rose water

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine together the sugar, water, and a teaspoon of rose water. Set on the stovetop over high heat. Try to avoid stirring it as it heats to prevent crystallization from happening, but if the sugar is not dissolving, then help it out with a few stirs. Once it comes to a boil, STOP stirring.
2. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Set a timer! The syrup will thicken slightly and have a consistency similar to pancake syrup. If it simmers for longer it could thicken too much and become candy-like.
3. Remove off the heat and transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature before pouring over the Qatayef.

Ashta (Cream Filling):

Ingredients:

• 1.5 Tablespoon cornstarch.
• 1 cup milk.
• a dash of rose water.
• 3-4 Tablespoon unsalted cream cheese.
• 1 tablespoon condensed milk or icing sugar

Instructions: 

1. In a small saucepan, off the heat, whisk together the milk, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined and the cornstarch has dissolved completely without any visible lumps.
   
2. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a full boil, whisking constantly. Continue to boil for a few more seconds until the mixture thickens and large bubbles form around the surface.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk.
4. Set the cream-filling aside to cool slightly and mix in the rose water and cream cheese.
   

Final Assembling:

• Scoop about a teaspoon of the Ashta filling in the middle of the Qatayef.
• Pinch the edges together sealing them two-thirds of the way. Dip the open side into ground pistachios.
  
  
  
  
• Arrange nicely in a round assemble in a serving dish and cover until time to serve.
  
• Drizzle the sugar syrup over the Qatayef right before serving. Enjoy them melt in your mouth!
