On busy weekdays, Iftar meals that break the day-long Ramadan fast, have to be quick, easy and filling options. With minimal prep, some kebabs can be made in a short time as you lay the table upon returning home after a busy day.
Keep minced chicken ready in the fridge blended with aromatic spices and condiments. Just before Iftar, place it onto skewers and cook the kebabs. Serve with mint chutney.
Make light seafood kebabs by marinating fish in a turmeric, chilli-garlic paste and lime juice. Fish cooks really quickly making it easy to pan-sear the kebabs on a busy evening.
Ready within minutes, paneer kebabs require very little marination time. Just coat paneer slices in a yoghurt-based spicy marinade and grill the kebabs in the oven for a few minutes.
Use the air fryer to swiftly prepare these tikkis made using spinach and peas. Keep the dough for the patties ready in the fridge and make the tikkis just before Iftar for easy serving.
Another vegetarian option, make these round tikki-like kebabs seasoned with ginger, green chillies and cumin. Shallow-fry the kebabs and ready them within minutes for Iftar.
