Nepali chicken skewers marinated with yogurt, mustard oil and spices, grilled over charcoal.
About Chicken Sekuwa
Nepal Tourism Board's heritage cookbook presents chicken sekuwa as charcoal-grilled skewers of marinated boneless chicken. Hung yogurt and mustard oil carry the turmeric, cumin, coriander and chilli seasoning.
Ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala and salt complete the marinade. The chicken pieces are threaded onto skewers and grilled over direct charcoal heat, with oil brushed on during cooking.
The skewers are served hot with salad and rice. This plate keeps the grilled chicken at its centre, with the accompaniments alongside the portions of meat.
