how to make kabab

Reshmi is an Indian word that means "silk." This is an apt description for these silky-textured, delicious chicken kababs that are a traditional Mughlai dish prepared in India.
Reshmi kabab gets its name from the juicy succulence of the meat added to the skewers. The meat gets this texture thanks to the marinade in which it is soaked.

What You'll Need

  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1 cup ​coriander (fresh)
  • 2 large onions (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 dash salt (to taste)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (fresh, unsweetened, and should not be sour)
  • 2 1/4 pounds/1 kilogram chicken (boneless, cut into 2-inch cubes)​
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable cooking oil

How to Make It

  1. Soak the almonds in hot water for 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Press each almond between your thumb and index finger so the skin splits and can be removed.
  2. In a food processor, mix the almonds, coriander, onion, ginger, and garlic pastes and grind to form a smooth paste. Add salt to taste, then lemon juiceand mix well.
  3. In a large bowl, pour the paste and yogurt over the chicken and mix well to coat all the pieces. Cover and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  1. Put the marinated chicken pieces on skewers and grill. Lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. When the chicken is cooked, remove from the skewers and serve with mint-coriander chutney, thinly sliced onions, and hot naans (tandoori-baked Indian flatbread).

Choose Your Meat

Traditionally, chicken, beef, or lamb meat is used for these kababs. Prawns or scallops are good substitutes as well.

Want it spicier?

Add green chilies, a couple of serrano peppers with the seeds, or add red pepper flakes; these should be included via food processor.
If you're making a curry that involves fresh chilies, you can add a spicier variety of chili to that so you don't affect the overall flavor of the dish. You can also scrape the inside of the chili and add only the seeds for a more subtle spiciness. Otherwise, you can always add chili powder or cayenne pepper.
Do not add more curry powder, garam masala, or paprika. Those add flavors and/or color, not heat. Altering the proportions of these spices can significantly affect the flavor of a dish.

PUBG PC system requirements and recommended

Interestingly, and perhaps typically, PUBG doesn't actually have "recommended" specs like games usually do. Instead, there's just a bare minimum that you should be aiming to exceed across the board. Note that the one thing that is compulsory though is the operating system, which must be 64-bit. System Spec Minimum System Requirements Operating System (OS) 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Processor i3-4340 / AMD FX-6300 Memory 6 GB RAM Graphics nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB DirectX Version 11 Network Broadband Internet connection Storage 30 GB available space As we mentioned above, it's worth remembering that the best graphics settings really do vary case by case. Your system might require you to turn certain more demanding settings down, or it might allow you to crank those more demanding ones up a little higher than average. Likewise, your preferences might dictate that, actually, you prefer a little more foliage ...
