Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken or turkey
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, and mint.
Add the garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin, red chili powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
After marination, take a small portion of the meat mixture and mold it around a skewer, pressing gently to form an even shape.
Repeat the process for the remaining mixture, making sure all kebabs are of similar thickness for even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the skewered kebabs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is thoroughly cooked and has a nice char.
Remove from the grill and let the kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the kebabs hot with a side of yogurt dip or green chutney for added flavor.
