Ingredients

For the kebab pinwheels:

  • 400 g Minced chicken
  • 1 Finely diced small onion
  • 1 Finely diced green chili
  • 1 tbsp Ginger–garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp Tandoori masala
  • 1 tsp Paprika or Kashmiri chili powder
  • ½ tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground coriander
  • ¾ tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice (plus extra for finishing)
  • 3–4 Medium tortilla wraps

For mint–garlic raita:

  • 1 cup Plain yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1–2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (finely chopped, optional)
  • 1 Small garlic clove (finely minced or grated)
  • ¼ tsp Roasted cumin powder
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken, diced onion, green chili, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, paprika, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
  • Lay a tortilla wrap on a flat surface and spread a thin, even layer of the chicken mixture over it, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log, then slice it into 2–3 cm thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
  • Thread the pinwheels onto skewers to help them hold their shape during baking. If desired, lightly brush the pinwheels with oil for extra color and flavor.
  • Arrange the skewers on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for 22–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the mint garlic raita by mixing together the yogurt, chopped mint, cilantro (if using), minced garlic, roasted cumin powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove the kebab pinwheels from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately with the chilled mint garlic raita.
