Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Soak the Almonds: Place almonds in a small bowl and cover with water. Allow to soak for 15 to 20 minutes; drain.

02

Step
10 mins

Prepare the Marinade: Place the soaked almonds, jalapeno peppers, garlic, ginger, and cilantro into the bowl of a food processor; blend until smooth. Season with salt, and blend in lemon juice. Blend in cream.

03

Step
24 hrs

Marinate the Chicken: Transfer the marinade to a large, non-metallic bowl. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for a more intense flavor.

04

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

05

Step
5 mins

Skewer the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.

06

Step
12 mins

Grill the Kebabs: Brush the skewered chicken with melted butter. Arrange the skewers on the hot grill grate. Slowly cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, about 10-12 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cashew nut paste to the marinade.
If you don't have a grill, these kebabs can also be cooked in a hot pan or under a broiler.
Serve hot with a side of mint-cilantro chutney or a refreshing yogurt dip.
