Description:

                

               Seekh kebabs are made of minced meat and grilled on a skewers. Seekh kebabs can be made with Lamb, Chicken etc. Here goes my recipe for Chicken Seekh kebab.

Ingredients:

1. Minced Chicken - 250 gms

2. Ginger

3. Garlic

4. Corinder leaves

5. Onions/ Fried onions - 1 cup

6. Garam masala - 1 tsp

7. Chili powder - 1tsp

8. Corinder powder - 1 tsp

9. Lemon juice - 2 tspn

10. Egg -1

11. Salt to taste
12. Garam masala - 1/2 tspn

Procedure:

          First take the minced Chicken and mix it with hands nicely in a bowl to break all lumps. Chop Onions, Ginger and Garlic  into very small pieces . Take a pan, pour oil and add the Onions first. Saute the Onions for few seconds, add the Ginger and Garlic, then salt also. Cook it for just few secs and remove it from the stove. Instead raw onion we can even use fried Onions. Just add the fried onions together with Ginger and Garlic into the minced meat. Now take the minced meat and remove any moist on it with a tissue paper. Then add the mixture, Chili powder, Corinder powder, Garam masala, Salt and chopped cilantro leaves. Mix it properly with hand and add in the Egg white. Add the Egg as per the amount of the minced meat mixture. Its not necessary to add an entire Egg if the mixture is less. If we add more egg white then the mixture will become very mushy and difficult to stick it to the skewers.

        We add the lemon juice to the mixture or we can even squeeze the lemon juice on top of the Kebabs when then are ready to be served. Keep the mixture in fridge for at least 30-45mnts. Meanwhile make your skewers ready. If you are using a bamboo Skewer then soak it in water for almost 30 minutes. After sometime take out the mixture from the fridge. Now its time to grill. The mixture should be dry with no moist in it, otherwise it will not stick to the skewers.  Unfortunately if you find that the mixture is mushy and moist is there, then  add little bread crumbs. It will absorb all the moist, but we usually don't add bread crumbs in Seekh Kebab.(This is an optional step which you can do only if the mixture contains moist and is difficult to stick on the skewers.) 

       Take the Skewers( Bamboo/Metal skewers)  for grilling the Kebabs. Take small portions of the meat mixture and stick it to the Skewers length wise. We can grill the Seekh kebabs in a  stove griller or  in the Oven. If using an oven then don`t forget to pre heat the oven. I used a simple stove griller this time. It will take almost 15-20 minutes to cook. Brush little oil on top and  cook for some 7- 8 minutes.When the top starts getting brown, turn it over and cook for another 6-7 minutes. Once its done take out the Kebabs from the skewers and keep it on a plate. Garnish the Seekh kebabs and serve hot with Chutney. Hope all of you will try it at home. Thanks.
