Chicken tangri kebab

Kebabs form an important part of the North Indian cuisine. And the most basic kebabs are quite versatile and easy to cook. Therefore, it was a perfect item for a mini ‘Indian cooking class’. And as always my aim was to show something with ingredients easily available. I used the traditional yogurt with ginger and garlic paste as marinade. The dry spices and the mint created the beautiful blend of flavors and aromas. It is always fun to cook or be in the kitchen with aunt Mojca, and enjoy her simple, rustic and flavorful food. Therefore, it was such a pleasure to use with her some aromatics and spices that are not really used in Slovenia and let her enjoy the flavors of those. She was pleasantly surprised with the result. And the best compliment was from uncle Janez, ‘it is a tad bit spicy but it is soo delicious’ he said as we indulged in the succulent aromatic chicken legs.
