- 500 grams Minced chicken
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 3 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 2 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine minced chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, chopped mint leaves, and chopped green chilies.
Add garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, lemon juice, and salt to the chicken mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly. The egg acts as a binding agent.
If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up slightly.
Divide the mixture and shape it onto the skewers, ensuring the chicken adheres tightly around each skewer.
Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil.
Place the skewers on the pan and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the Chicken Seekh Kebab hot with a side of mint chutney and lemon wedges.
