Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 medium green chilies
- 20 grams fresh coriander leaves
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1.5 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 pieces bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
In a food processor, add garlic cloves, ginger paste, green chilies, coriander leaves, and red onion. Pulse to form a coarse paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the paste from the food processor. Mix thoroughly.
Add garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the chicken mixture. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 200°C or 400°F).
Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each part around a soaked skewer to form a long kebab shape. Make sure the kebab is tightly packed around the skewer.
Once the grill/oven is preheated, brush the kebabs with melted butter on all sides to enhance moisture and flavor.
Place the kebabs onto the grill or a baking sheet if using an oven. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve these soy-free chicken seekh kebabs hot with your choice of dip, such as yogurt mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
