If you’re going to Shalimar, then you must have Chef Munawwar’s Chicken Silver Kebab Masala. We’re not the only ones saying it; the whole of Shalimar would nod to the well-spiced rhythm of this dish. That loyalty isn’t born overnight, and it certainly isn’t sustained by anything less than excellence.

The preparation unfolds with quiet assurance. He begins by heating what he calls tari wala oil, a seasoned oil that’s been used to cook spiced gravies, thick with past flavour. The base is built on ginger-garlic paste, blooming gently in the hot oil, before he layers in a medley of masalas: green chilli powder, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and dried kasturi methi.

What Goes In This Shalimar Favourite Dish?

Each spice goes in without measurement, with the kind of precision that doesn’t need a spoon. What follows is a telling moment, as he adds Kitchen King masala, a well-known shortcut for richness. But then comes the real pivot: “secret masala,” he says, as he sprinkles in an unnamed powder. 

The chicken, already marinated and kissed by flames in the tandoor, is now added to the pan. These carried with them an unmistakable smokiness. Into this, he folds in kaju curry, a thick and velvety base made from blended cashews.

The creaminess settles the heat. And then comes curd, which binds the masalas, lightens the colour, and deepens the texture. When it’s plated, it’s clear why this dish has become more than a local favourite. The chicken sits in a glistening pool of masala, holding just the right charm.
