CHICKEN KEBAB

This chicken kebab is perfect for any BBQ party you organise. It's tasty and delicious. Serve with steamed rice and salad. You can use any sauce of your preference....hummus would be perfect and as for Asian we always love something hot and spicy. I made mine with Thai Chili sauce. This dish is popular among the Middle Eastern. Some context on kebab from Wikipedia for your interest. I adapted the recipe from Munatycooking.blogspot. and it's fantastic. The bell pepper, onions and tomato add more flavour to the kebab.

If you are planning for BBQ party try this recipe, it's simple and great.

Kebab ( or kabab, kabob[1]) is a wide variety of meat dishes originating in Persia[2][3][4][5] and later on adopted in the Middle East, Turkey, South Asia and Asia Minor, that are now found worldwide. In North American English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab served on the skewer.[3] In the Middle East, however, kebab includes grilled, roasted, and stewed dishes of large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls. The traditional meat for kebab is lamb, but depending on local tastes and taboos, it may now be beef, goat, chicken, pork; fish and seafood; or even vegetarian foods like falafel or tofu. Like other ethnic foods brought by travellers, the kebab has become part of everyday cuisine in many countries around the globe.

Biasanya kita kalau ke pasar malam kita akan lihat daging kebab yang dibakar putar-putar. Kebab ayam ini saya buat cara sate, cucuk dengan lidi dan masukkan sekali cili benggala, bawang dan tomato segar. Resipi ini memang popular dikalangan masyarakat timur tengah...mudah membuatnya dan cukup sesuai dan sedap jika kita cadang membuatparty BBQ. Untuk sosnya bolehlah ikut kesukaan masing-masing. Biasanya di timur tengah mereka lebih gemar makan bersama hummus tapi kita di sini lebih sedap dengan sos yang pedas-pedas...thai cili sos cukup sesuai atau pun sos pudina. Perahkan sedikit lemon atau limau...memang terangkat jadinya. Hidang bersama nasi dan salad.
