Chicken Seekh Kebab…
Ahh.. Sometimes you get the craving for these juicy delicious seekh kebabs.. When you cannot go to those famous kebab centers, why not make your kitchen your favorite kebab house??? I bet it will be as mouth watering as the kebab house ones.. So, are you ready to cook the delicious kebabs? Let’s start with the recipe.
To make it simple we will divide it into following 5 steps:
1) Mince the chicken.
Take some boneless chicken. I took two big boneless chicken breasts around 400 gms.
You can take depending on your need.
Remove moisture from it by wrapping/rubbing it with tissue/dry cloth all around.
Now cut in small or medium sized pieces and mince it in mixer. It should become a smooth paste.
2) Add spices to the minced chicken.
Some people only prefer dried spices. But I used few other ingredients for better taste.
Add about 1 tsp ginger, garlic and chilli paste
Add about 2 big spoons of fried onions.(Optional but enhances taste)
Add 2 tsp of cashewnut paste (boil the cashewnuts in little water and mix it in a mixer to form a paste). (Optional but enhances taste)
Add some garam masala powder, chaat masala powder, amchur (dried mango) powder, coriander powder(little).
Lemon juice 2 tsp
Fresh coriander leaves
Salt as per taste,
Red Chilli powder (little)
Mix everything well. You can again use mixer to mix things well.
Add about ½ -1 egg. (Optional but it makes the kebabs very soft and juicy)
You can add little grated cheese to make the kebabs juicy. (Processed cheese)
Mix it well. Your kebab mixture is ready.
If the mixture is too runny, you can add some bread crumbs/corn starch. If you want to cook later, you can also keep the mixture for rest for time (in refrigerator). (To know if the mixture is OK, take any thin rod like steel /wooden kitchen instrument (tongs, spoon etc). Grease the end with little oil. Try to stick kebab mixture on it. If it sticks fine you are good to go).
3) Make the kebabs.
Take a skewer. Put a thin layer of kebab mixture all around. Leave the ends so that you can hold the skewer well while cooking.
You can check the picture. The ends are left uncovered.
4) Grill it in Tandoor/Broil it in oven.
Now put the skewers(metal/wooden rods) in tandoor grill or oven (broil mode) at maximum temperature(450-500).
After 5-7 minute, you will see the kebab turning brown.
Rotate the skewer to grill the other side well.
The kebabs should be ready in 10-15 minutes.
(Note: If you don’t have oven /tandoor or skewers, don’t worry. You can still make delicious kebabs.
You can use any big cooking spoon/tongs (wooden/steel) (round/flat in shape). Grease the end with with little oil. Put the kebab mixture around with hand. Now remove it gently with hand.
Now fry it in oil. It hardly takes 2 minutes for the kebab to be ready due to the hole in the middle. You will have the same taste as grilled ones. And guess what..no one would understand the difference. )
5) Serve the kebabs with green chutney and some salad
I am sure you will love it. Enjoy cooking
