Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Cauliflower (grated)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated cauliflower, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green chili, and chopped coriander leaves.
Add the garam masala, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Take a small portion of the mixture and form into a flat, round patty shape, about half an inch thick.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to form more patties.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook each kebab for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and they are cooked through.
Remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of fresh salad or low-carb yogurt dip.
