Chicken Hariyali Kabab at Lahori Kabab | Minty Green Grilled Delight

The Hara Bhara Chicken, Aka Chicken Hariyali Kabab, is a spin on regular barbeque flavors. It’s full of zesty essences, a blend of unique herbs, spices, and the star ingredient.

Lahori Kabab prides itself on pioneering its version of the recipe. At the restaurant, it is one of the most ordered items. 

Origin of the Dish

The name “Hariyali” is a word donated to the greenery in the Urdu language. The dish stands true to its name, being green and use of all the herbs as key ingredients in preparing the dish.

Chicken Hariyali Kabab takes inspiration from recipes that don’t use any of the red spices or ingredients. If you look at the dish, it’s green, meaning tomatoes and red chilies were not used in preparing this dish.

As an alternative, yogurt and green chilies are used to enhance the flavor. In some recipes, you will find that spinach leaves are used for taste, color, and flavor. 

What Makes Chicken Hariyali Kabab the Top-rated Dish

The delightful blend of herbs and spices marinated for a day in juicy, tender chicken pieces. We are generous with our star ingredient – mint.

The combination of mint, coriander, green chilies, and carefully selected spices seeps into the chicken pieces for many hours.

Besides the marination, the grilling is also the hero of the recipe. Done by our expert chef, these succulent kababs turn out perfectly charred, juicy, and smoky, and develop a delectable crispy exterior.

A Feast of Senses

The chicken hariyali kabab at Lahori Kabab is supremacy!

The secret is in the marinade and the grilling technique. The freshness that comes with the mint takes this dish to another level.

Spices, herbs, mint, and traditional spices are left in the marination with the carefully cut chicken pieces. The spices and herbs infuse the flavor and fragrance of the chicken thoroughly, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.    

The essential ingredients in the marinade include:

• Mint Leaves: The star ingredient that provides a refreshing and cool flavor to the kabab.
• Coriander: Adds a mild, citrusy flavor that balances the mint and other spices.
• Spinach: Often used for its green color and earthy flavor.
• Yogurt: A creamy base that helps tenderize the chicken and adds richness.
• Ginger and Garlic: These aromatic ingredients give the marinade depth and a hint of warmth.
• Green Chilies: For a spicy kick that perfectly complements the coolness of the herbs.
• Lemon Juice: Adds a tangy freshness that enhances the flavors of the marinade.

All these ingredients, when blended, are carefully massaged into the chicken pieces. Then, the meat is left to marinate for hours, sometimes more than twelve hours.

When the chef feels every chicken piece has been locked in the aroma, flavors, and kick of spices, the expert chef grills these to perfection.

Grilling the Magic

The grilling of these succulent botis (chicken pieces) is mastery in itself. Kababs are inserted into the skewers and then cooked in the traditional charcoal fire.

The smoky aroma settles inside these chicken pieces, giving a perfectly charred interior. Carefully cook it so the juiciness stays intact while the flavor is enhanced under the coal fire.

When grilled perfectly, these kababs are served with naan, chutney, raita, lemon, and a side salad.
