Tips & Secrets

  • Using chicken thigh meat is mandatory; it remains professional-grade juicy and soft compared to chicken breast.
  • Adding grated cheese to the marinade is the secret to achieving that authentic professional-grade thick and creamy coating.
  • Marinating for at least 6 hours is the absolute secret to ensuring the meat is flavor-saturated and buttery soft.
  • Do not skip the cardamom and mace; they provide the signature professional-grade fragrance associated with royal malai kebabs.
