Ingredients

• 500 grams lean ground chicken
• 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons, grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1 finely chopped green chili
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large, beaten egg
• 2 tablespoons besan (chickpea flour)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, for cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground chicken with finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, and green chili.

Step 2

Add the spices: garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 3

Incorporate the beaten egg into the mixture to help bind the ingredients together. Add besan (chickpea flour) to absorb excess moisture and improve the texture.

Step 4

Add lemon juice to the mixture for a hint of tangy flavor. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 8) and shape each portion around a skewer to form kebabs approximately 5 to 6 inches long.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add oil.

Step 7

Once hot, place the kebabs onto the pan. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char.

Step 8

Ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) for safe consumption.

Step 9

Serve the seekh kebabs hot with your favorite chutney or dip as a high-protein meal or appetizer.
