                                                  Happy birthday to Saji...

Time does fly when you're having fun, and just like that, an entire year's gone by in the blink of an eye. Its also the 50th recipe from the 50 From 50 In 50 challenge. I'm hoping that you enjoyed reading/making the recipes at home. Please keep a eye on my space tomorrow as I have something for you readers. 

Coming to today's recipe I made Kebab Morgh. Iranians enjoy the grilled meat and poultry.

Just before getting broiled

Ingredients

2 onions, finely grated

6 tablespoons lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoon corainder powder

2 pounds boneless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

4 Tablespoons melted butter

Cubes of onions

Cubes on green and red bellpeppers

Small pinch of saffron threads, dissolved in 2 teaspoons warm water (optional, but recommended)

Pepparika to taste

Salt to taste

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients except chicken in a bowl

2. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 4 hours.

3. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers alteranately placing the onions and bellpeppers in between.

4. Stir the melted butter and dissolved saffron into the marinade.

5. Brush the marinade onto the chicken.

6. Preheat broiler or grill. Grill the chicken for 15-20 minutes.

7. Occasionally moisten and turn the chicken as needed and serve hot!


Note: Soak the skewers before night in water to make sure you don't burn them like I did. I just soaked it for 1 hour.
