Murgh/Chicken Angara Kabab

I always wanted to experiment and use the stuffing as outer cover for banana peppers (bajji milagai). My test batch turned out excellent we enjoyed these murgh angara for the stuffing we can use cheese, mushroom or a chutney as per your taste. Angara meaning coals we can grill these kababs on coals or flavor the meat with coals (smoke).

Do look into my video demo...Enjoy...:)

  • Once the eggplant has cooked make sure there is no moisture. add the chopped dates, figs and the chopped nuts stir cover for few minutes till well combined.
  • Reserve the stuffing mixture in a bowl allow to cool completely before stuffing.
  • Fill the peppers with the stuffing mixture and set aside for 10 minutes before giving a top coat.
  • Take a portion of  the chicken seekh kabab mixture wet  your palms and flatten the seekh mixture on your palm place the stuffed pepper on the chicken start to cover the pepper with the chicken mixture make sure there are no air pockets in the mixture the top coat must be perfect. 
  • Heat a shallow pan add 4 Tbsp oil and shallow fry the peppers. make sure not to turn the peppers right away place a cover and allow the chicken to cook on a low to medium flame for 10 minutes before turning them over this technic will make the top coat firm and easy to handle keep turning the chicken till all sides turn light brown in color and the peppers should cook inside. serve hot right away with lime wedges and onion...enjoy...:)

Tip: Try to handle the deseeded peppers as gentle as possible while filling them the reason being it can break easily which will be of no use.
