Ingredients for Techa Chicken Kebabs:

For the Techa (Spicy Chutney Base):

• Garlic cloves – 12-15
• Green chillies – 5 (adjust for heat)
• Peanuts, lightly roasted – ¼ cup
• Salt – as per taste
• Fresh coriander leaves with stems – handful
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

For Kebabs:

• Minced chicken – 250g
• Chickpea flour (Besan) – 2 tsp
• Cumin powder – ½ tsp
• Finely chopped onion – 2 tbsp
• Salt – as per taste
• Ghee – for frying

Step-by-Step Easy Method:

Step 1: Making Authentic Techa

In a pan, dry-roast garlic, peanuts, green chillies, and salt over medium heat until fragrant and slightly charred. Now, coarsely grind these roasted ingredients with lemon juice and fresh coriander. For best texture, use a mortar-pestle or pulse briefly in a grinder, ensuring it stays rustic and coarse.

Step 2: Preparing the Chicken Mixture

Combine minced chicken, cumin powder, finely chopped onion, besan, salt, and freshly prepared techa chutney and mix well until all the ingredients bind well together.

Step 3: Shaping the Kebabs

Divide the mixture evenly into seven portions. With wet hands, press onto pre-soaked wooden skewers to form neat kebabs. This prevents sticking and burning.

Step 4: Shallow-Fry to Perfection

Now on medium flame, shallow-fry kebabs in ghee until evenly golden. Turn occasionally for even browning. Avoid overcooking, as minced chicken cooks quickly and can become dry.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these spicy Techa Chicken Kebabs hot, accompanied by lemon wedges, fresh salad, or cooling yogurt dip. These versatile kebabs make a delightful snack or party starter.
