Ingredients

  • 8 chicken legs skinless, bone-in

For the marinade

Instructions

  • Start by lightly roasting the gram flour. Take care to roast it on a pan on low to medium heat and turn off the heat once you smell the nutty aroma of the chickpea flour. Do not overheat or burn the flour.
  • In a blender jar, blend together the herbs with the yogurt and ginger and garlic paste.
  • Make slashes in the chicken, to allow the marinade to penetrate deeper. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the spice powders, ghee, lemon juice, salt, blended herb mixture, roasted gram flour and mix well.
  • Grill for 30 mins on 190 C turning it once midway.
  • Brush some ghee on the chicken at the midway mark (15 minutes) and continue to grill.
  • At the 30 minute mark, turn up the heat to 200 C and grill for 5 minutes more.
  • Let the grilled chicken rest for around 5 minutes before serving. Before serving, add a sprinkly of lemon juice and chaat masala powder.

Notes

A sprinkling of lime and 'chaat masala' over the kababs will add a nice touch to finish off the recipe.
You could cover the tips of the chicken legs with aluminum foil to prevent it from over-browning.
You can also use boneless chicken pieces to make hariyali chicken kabab. Use the same marinade for boneless chicken, however, ensure that you cook it for a lesser time - boneless chicken cooks quicker than bone-in chicken.
