Dynamite Chicken Skewers
It is already the 6th of Ramadan. Before you know these beautiful days will pass away very soon. So make the most of it with recitation of Qur'an, moistening your tongue with Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) even while doing chores etc. Last thing you want is slogging in the kitchen all day during Ramadan, so this is one easy recipe that anyone can make; be it adults or kids! My girl loved helping me do these easy Dynamite Chicken Skewers.
Potatoes are sliced thin using a slicer, which is then rolled with a chicken strip that has been marinated in spices which is then rolled and tuck into a skewer, dusted with maida (all purpose flour) and fried to perfection. And finally the Dynamite sauce is drizzled over the chicken potato skewers and enjoyed. Kids and adults will love it equally! Well, it definitely did here!
This Ramadan I wanted to cut down on my oil intake, so I am using the shallow frying method, thigh deep frying is demonstrated here. This recipe can be made in an oven or airfryer by spraying a tbsp of oil.
The best part of this recipe is that, it is prepared with basic ingredients that you can find at any Indian Household. The only preparation you would require is to soak your skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
Now go on.. Tayst it! And let me know how you liked it!
Ingredients: (makes 7 skewers with 5 Dynamite Chicken in each skewer)
- Skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 2 Large Potatoes
- 350 gms Chicken Tender Breast
- 1/4 Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp Kashmir Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
- Salt, as required
- Pepper, as required
- 5 tbsp Maida, for coating
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Chilli Paste
- 2 tsp Tomato Paste
Instructions:
- Peel and slice your potatoes using a slicer and set aside.
- Slice your chicken breast to long, thin strips and place them in a clean bowl.
- Next, add in your ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and salt as required and mix well.
- Now, unto a clean surface, place a potato slice and next place a marinated chicken strip and then roll and tuck in tightly so that one end of the potato slice and then the chicken and then the other end of the potato slice are securely tucked into the skewer.
- Place your pan for shallow frying. Pour oil, once hot, sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes and coat in maida immediately* and place in hot oil and shallow fry for at least 5-8 minutes.
- Finally prepare your Dynamite sauce by mixing mayonnaise, red chilli paste and tomato ketchup.
- And garnish with the prepared sauce and enjoy!
Notes:
- The potatoes should only be sprinkled with salt right before frying, because the potato oozes out water when sprinkled with salt.
- Make sure to tuck in tight before you add the next set of potato slices and chicken so that they do not twist loosely when you flip, while frying them on the Skewers.
