CHICKEN KARELA KEBAB ( Repost)


This recipe is re-posted for the event, Whats on your Kebab platter? hosted by Khushi of A girl's Diary
I haven't participated in any event so far; rather I eagerly look forward to such events to learn great recipes. I am bit shy to participate in events
I got this recipe from my  Pakistani neighbor during my stay in Kuwait. The taste is very different from any other. The little bitter taste typical to Karela, and absence of usual onion, garlic and spice aroma make it so typical! It has been a party snack quite often.
INGREDIENT
500 gms Karela (bitter gourd)
500 gms minced chicken
1 egg
1 tsp coarse and freshly ground black pepper.
1 tsp red chili powder ( optional)
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves.
Salt
Oil for sallow frying
Bread crumb ( quantity will depend on the consistency of the mix)
1 tbsp finely chopped green chili


PROCEDURE
Cut Karela 5 mm thick circular pieces, put salt and mix. Keep aside for 15 minutes. squeeze out the water and re-wash with fresh water. Boil the Karela, remove from water, cool and squeeze out water and mash it with hand. (or slow coarse grinding)
Boil minced chicken with salt, remove, squeeze out water.
Mix the Karela, meat, chili, coriander leaves, chili powder, pepper, green chili, salt.


Put the egg ( dont whip) and mix. Add bread crumb a little at a time to a consistency so that it can be just shaped into flat round Kebabs.
 Refrigerate for 30 min if required to keep shape.
Shallow fry both side and serve.

Thanks for your wishes, and yes FB can be so addictive...but at the same time it is the best way to be in touch with everyone..these days I don't get any email forwards as everyone is busy on FB.
I will get the book you suggested as soon as I am back ..I am still in Brazil.
Thanks & Regards.
