Afghani Chicken Kebabs is a delightful dish coming straight from the Mughal era. The chicken thighs are cut into bite sized chunks and are marinated with yogurt, lemon juice and spices.

The yogurt and spice marinade is left on the chicken for a good two hours or even over night and acts as a brilliant tenderizer. And it is this mix which is the secret to the savory kebabs.
