Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Cauliflower (grated)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated cauliflower, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green chili, and chopped coriander leaves.

Step 2

Add the garam masala, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Take a small portion of the mixture and form into a flat, round patty shape, about half an inch thick.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to form more patties.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Cook each kebab for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and they are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the kebabs from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of fresh salad or low-carb yogurt dip.
