Chicken Seekh Kabab

Seekh kababs are the most popular type of kababs (atleast to my knowledge). I have tasted mutton seekh kababs before in some Indian restaurants but where I live, we get minced chicken very easily and so I thought I will try making seekh kababs using minced chicken.

One can surely try making lamb/mutton seekh kabab but the cooking time may vary as mutton/lamb take long time to cook. The chicken kababs were very juicy and tender and we finished all of it in few minutes. Let me know if you like the taste of it!



Ingredients:

Minced Chkn - 1LB
Onion - 1/2, finely chopped and sauteed
Cilantro - handful, finely chopped
Green Chillies - 1 small, finey chopped
Dhania Powder - 2 1/2 tspn
Garam Masala - 2 tspn
Red Chilli Powder - 1 tspn
Ginger - Garlic Paste - 1 tspn
Mint Leaves - 1 - 2 tspns, finely chopped
Bread Crumbs - 2 - 3 tbspns
Salt-  as per taste

Oil for frying (if not baking/broiling)

Procedure:

1.       Mix all ingredients given above, other than oil. Check to see if the mixture is thick enough and can hold up a sheek kabab shape (Cylindrical). If it doesn't, then add some more bread crumbs to it till it becomes easy to shape.
2.       Now make cylindrical shaped kababs by either rolling them around the skewers (make sure wooden skewers are soaked in water for atleast 30mins before using them) and bake/shallow fry in a pan for 10-12mins or until done (or broil for 5mins on each side).
3.       I did not use any skewers but just shaped them in cylindrical shape and shallow fried them in a pan with 1 tspn oil. I also BBQed these kababs and they turned out awesome!
4.       Serve/Eat this with mint chutney mixed in greek yogurt and some sliced onions with lemon squeezed on top. YUMMMM!!!!



Conclusion:
I made these for my hubby's Bday BBQ and I got rave reviews for them. It got over in no time!
