Instructions
Preparation
Cut the chicken fillets into coarse pieces.
Peel the onion and cut it into large pieces as well.
Put all the skewer ingredients into a food processor and blend finely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Peel and grate the ginger. Mix it with the rest of the sauce ingredients.
With the chicken mixture, form 16 nice balls by rolling them in your hands (oiled hands make it less sticky).
Thread the balls onto the skewers two at a time.
Pour a stream of oil into a hot frying pan (or on a griddle) and cook the skewers for 4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning regularly.
Reduce the heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat, basting the skewers with the sauce and turning frequently.
Serve with glazed carrots (using the same sauce) or basmati rice.
Notes
These skewers are perfect for any outdoor barbecue or a cozy dinner at home.
