Afghani chicken kebabs

Name: Afghani chicken kebabs
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 1 kg boneless chicekn thighs, cut in half; 2 1/2 tbsp ginger and garlic paste; 1 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp white pepper powder; 1 tsp cumin powder; 1 tsp coriander powder; juice of 1 lime; 100 ml double cream

Instructions

The first time I tried Afghani chicken was in a restaurant whilst I was in India and I instantly fell in love with it. The chicken was really soft and tender, full of flavour but without the overpowering heat that Indians might expect. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, this dish soon became really popular on my dinner menu. We Punjabis have a lot to thank the Afghan people for, with the tandoor being top of my list.
