Savor the irresistible flavors of this Low Sodium Classic Beef Seekh Kabab recipe, a healthier twist on a beloved South Asian favorite. Crafted with freshly ground beef, aromatic spices like garam masala and cumin, vibrant herbs including coriander and cilantro, and a hint of green chili for a subtle kick, these kababs are bursting with authentic flavor despite their reduced sodium content. The addition of besan (chickpea flour) and egg ensures the kababs hold together while remaining tender and juicy. Perfectly cooked on skewers or shaped into patties, they develop a delightful golden-brown crust in a simple pan-sear with olive oil. Ideal for low-sodium diets, these kababs are ready in just 40 minutes and pair perfectly with mint chutney or a crisp salad. Whether you're hosting a dinner or craving a quick weeknight meal, these wholesome, flavorful kababs are sure to impress.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, green chilies, chopped coriander and cilantro leaves, garam masala, cumin powder, red chili powder, and black pepper.
Add the egg and besan (chickpea flour) to the mixture. Mix everything well using your hands until thoroughly combined. This will help bind the kabab mixture.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the mixture to firm up for easier shaping.
Divide the mixture into equal portions, about 8 cylindrical shapes, and press each around a skewer ensuring each is tightly packed around the skewer. If not using skewers, simply form into elongated patties.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the skewers or patties in the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the kababs are well browned and cooked through.
Serve the low sodium classic beef seekh kababs hot with a side of fresh salad or mint chutney.
