Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the large onion, green chilies, and cilantro leaves.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, add the garlic cloves and ginger, and blend to form a smooth paste.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, chopped onion, green chilies, cilantro, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. It is advisable to use your hands for better integration.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a cylindrical kebab around skewers, pressing firmly to ensure they are secure.

Step 6

Heat the oil in a non-stick grill pan over medium heat.
