chicken kebab marinade?

[ColJack]

I like chicken kebab meat from the chip shop but since it's 6.5 syns for a large portion ( EE ), I'd like to make some at home.
Does anyone know what they marinate the chicken breast in? the "plain" kebabs I mean, not the red tandoori ones..

tomato you could use tomato puree chilli and garlic i only know this cause i went to one other day with my oh and asked whilst he was buying some thing for himself i was good tho not get anything boo, cause i love them too

I presume you mean chicken sheesh kebabs?

I would think it is probably a mixture of garlic, cumin, juice of a lemon and some herbs or something similar to that, as the marinade is normally quite light. There is probably oil involved too, but you can just use some frylight

i use fresh garlic, turmirc, lemon and lime jucie and leave it for a few hours to maranide, sorry bout speling i then cook this on my george foreman grill

 

[ColJack]

don't have turmirc, but I do have cumin..
might give it a whirl later and marinate overnight..
cut into strips / chunks first or leave as whole breast and slice after?

 

[dawnd29]

chunks work best for me

Coljack, how did you make out? Did they taste like the takeaway? My daughter loves those so I might give it a try

 

[ColJack]

never did it..
I looked for turmuric in morrisons today.. none there.. both the "own" version and the branded were sold out..

 

[ColJack]

ok, got some turmeric earlier, marinated in a bag as above for a few hours and is on the skewers in the oven as I type..

i made this for tea today as well but i just cooked it in the oven at 220 it was nice i had it with sw chips and rocket salad. i made some of my nans secret sauce to dip it was good.

my nans secret sauce is the worst kept secret she ever had
its just salad cream with a blob of tom puree in

LOL Cathiec, glad they were okay. How about yours Coljack? Think I might give them a try

 

[ColJack]

it's nice, but not the "plain" type.. it's more the yellow / orange type ( we get 3 kinds round here, plain, red and yellow.. )

mine was a little dry but that's because I did it in the oven and left it in a bit long I think.. might be better under a grill or on a george..
