If you want to know the quick and easy way of how to make a chelow kebab, then go through the directions given below –

Mix the ground spices, ginger-garlic and onion with the meat and keep it for a night.
Knead properly with the corn/flour starch, and allow the meat mixture to thicken.
Next, prepare the skewers. If you use the bamboo skewers, make them wet 10 minutes before. Then, put oil in palms and take the meat mixture in small quantities. Spread them evenly over skewers. Put inside the oven at 375-degree Fahrenheit for 20 mins.
For marinating the chicken, use tandoori, yogurt, and ginger paste along with peppercorns as its ingredients. Get the skewers ready with onion bell peppers and capsicum.
Set the plate by putting the poached egg on top of the rice along with the butter cubes.

Chef Tip: If you use either bamboo or wooden skewers, always make sure to soak them up in the water before using them.
