These little bits of deliciousness are usually made out of boneless chicken thigh or breast meat. I only had chicken wings so I gave it a shot. You can use chicken breast or thigh meat if you prefer. Kasturi Meethi or fenugreek leaves are used extensively in Indian cooking They have a wonderful aroma and a slightly moorish taste. Believe me, these are far more delicious than the same old chicken tikka kebabs and make wonderful appetisers for a large number of guests! You can also serve these with rice or naan. Just a bit of a twist on an old Indian favourite.
