Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken (or lamb/beef for variations)
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies.

Step 2

Add the garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Add the olive oil and chickpea flour to the meat mixture. The chickpea flour helps bind the kebabs, so ensure it is evenly mixed in.

Step 5

Once all ingredients are well combined, cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for best results.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 7

Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion around skewers to form elongated kebabs.

Step 8

If using a grill, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking and place the kebabs on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side, turning occasionally until cooked through.

Step 9

If baking, place the kebabs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of salad or wrap in flatbreads for a fuller meal.
