It had mild flavors which were almost similar to our garam masala and a hint of Arabian flavors. Along with Al Faham Chicken, just to balance the spices, we had ordered Ajwain Murg Tikka which was quite spicy and reddish in color just like any tandoori chicken but the Ajwain flavor was divine and very much appealing to the taste buds.

So this is how I got inspired to make this Al Faham Chicken or Dejaj Al Faham, where ‘Faham’ means coal and very popularly known as Coal Grilled Chicken. I took ideas by watching some of the videos on youtube, and it also seems like this dish is more popular in Kerala than in any Middle Eastern countries.

Al faham Chicken can also be made without an oven. Just heat a wide nonstick saucepan and add some butter. Fry the marinated pieces on both side for few minutes, add 1/2 cup of water, cover and cook on medium low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the chicken pieces are cooked and juices have dried up, serve hot with pita bread and Hummus or any Dip of your choice.

INGREDIENTS

1-kilogram chicken (whole or cut into large pieces with slits)

3 tablespoon olive oil

First marinade:

2 tablespoon yogurt

1 tablespoon ginger & garlic paste (combined)

1 tablespoon black pepper powder

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

Second marinade:

4 dry red chilies (mild)

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 tablespoon fennel seeds (Badi saunf)

2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

Whole Spices: 4 cardamom, 4 cloves, 1 inch piece of cinnamon

1 small onion roughly chopped

1 small tomato roughly chopped

2 green chilies

Few coriander leaves chopped

1 cup = 250 ml

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1 Mix together in a bowl, all the ingredients of the first marinade. Marinate chicken pieces in it for 10 to 15 minutes.

STEP 2 Prepare the second marinade by dry roasting dry red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and whole spices for 2 to 3 minutes. Cool and grind to a fine powder. To the spice powder, add chopped tomato, chopped onion, chopped green chilies and coriander leaves. Grind again to a smooth paste without adding any water (if needed add just a 2 or 3 teaspoon of water to ease the grinding).

STEP 3 Marinate chicken pieces in this spice paste for 2 or 3 hours or even overnight in a refrigerator.

STEP 4 Preheat oven to 250 degrees C for 10 minutes.

STEP 5 Place the chicken pieces on a baking tray and place the tray close to the top flame.

STEP 6 Grill the chicken for 20 minutes by turning the pieces half way through grilling (10 minutes on each side).

  

STEP 7 Serve hot with pits bread, Hummus and some Fresh Salad
