Ingredients

• 500 grams Minced chicken
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 3 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh mint leaves
• 2 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder

• 1 teaspoon or to taste Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine minced chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, chopped mint leaves, and chopped green chilies.

Step 2

Add garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, lemon juice, and salt to the chicken mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly. The egg acts as a binding agent.

Step 4

If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up slightly.

Step 5

Divide the mixture and shape it onto the skewers, ensuring the chicken adheres tightly around each skewer.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the pan and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Seekh Kebab hot with a side of mint chutney and lemon wedges.
