Ingredients

• 500 grams ground chicken
• 1 large onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 2 pieces green chili
• 50 grams fresh cilantro
• 30 grams fresh mint leaves
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, garlic, fresh ginger, green chili, cilantro, and mint leaves. Alternatively, use a food processor to pulse these ingredients until finely chopped but not pasty.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the chopped ingredients. Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.

Step 3

Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with cling film and let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan using a paper towel and a bit of olive oil.

Step 6

Divide the chicken mixture into 8-10 equal portions. Shape each portion onto skewers, forming long, cylindrical kebabs. Wet your hands slightly to help shape the kebabs if needed.

Step 7

Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the kebabs are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (167°F).

Step 9

Occasionally turn the skewers to ensure even cooking and to avoid burning.

Step 10

Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of dairy-free yogurt dip or chutney.
