Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground chicken
- 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons, grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1 finely chopped green chili
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large, beaten egg
- 2 tablespoons besan (chickpea flour)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, for cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken with finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, and green chili.
Add the spices: garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the mixture.
Incorporate the beaten egg into the mixture to help bind the ingredients together. Add besan (chickpea flour) to absorb excess moisture and improve the texture.
Add lemon juice to the mixture for a hint of tangy flavor. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 8) and shape each portion around a skewer to form kebabs approximately 5 to 6 inches long.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add oil.
Once hot, place the kebabs onto the pan. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char.
Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.
Serve the seekh kebabs hot with your favorite chutney or dip as a high-protein meal or appetizer.
