Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 2 pieces green chili
- 50 grams fresh cilantro
- 30 grams fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, garlic, fresh ginger, green chili, cilantro, and mint leaves. Alternatively, use a food processor to pulse these ingredients until finely chopped but not pasty.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the chopped ingredients. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined.
Cover the bowl with cling film and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan using a paper towel and a bit of olive oil.
Divide the chicken mixture into 8-10 equal portions. Shape each portion onto skewers, forming long, cylindrical kebabs. Wet your hands slightly to help shape the kebabs if needed.
Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the kebabs are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (167°F).
Occasionally turn the skewers to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of dairy-free yogurt dip or chutney.
