How To Make nepalese sekewa (pork/chicken/lamb)
-
Step 1First, make the marinade. Combine all the ingredients in a non-reactive bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Start slow with the chiles if you don't like too much spiciness.
-
Step 2Cut the meat into cubes, about 1 inch square.Add them to the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Best if done overnight, but 8 hours is better than nothing!
-
Step 3When ready to grill, skewer the chicken. Grill until done, turning so it doesn't burn. Best on grill, but can be done on an oiled sheet pan in the oven, too.
-
Step 4When chicken is cooked through, remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Garnish with more minced cilantro, if desired.
