Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, minced ginger, and hot paprika. Mix well and allow the mixture to marinate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
2
While the chicken marinates, prepare the almonds by placing them in a bowl and covering with boiling water. Let them sit for 10 minutes before draining.
3
Once drained, blend the almonds with heavy cream, garam masala, cardamom, allspice, and the lightly beaten egg white until smooth. Fold this creamy mixture into the marinated chicken, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
4
In a saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion and sauté until caramelized and golden brown, which should take about 8 minutes. Stir the caramelized onions into the chicken mixture.
5
Prepare your charcoal grill and heat it until the coals turn white. Divide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion along the length of either one flat or two round skewers, ensuring they are evenly packed.
6
Carefully place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kebabs are charred and cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
7
Once cooked, gently remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with mint chutney or your choice of sides.
