Instructions

Green Chutney for the kebabs

Add mint leaves, coriander leaves, yogurt, green chilli and salt to a blender jar and blend to a smooth paste
Add some lime juice if the yogurt isn’t tart enough

Seekh Kebab

Add ~2 tbsp. oil to a pan set on medium heat
Add onions
Add ~1/2 tsp. salt

Stir fry till the onions turn deep brown in color (this should approximately take 7-8 min)
Transfer this to a bowl and let it cool down

Let’s make some bread crumbs (or you can buy it!)

Toast 3-4 slices of bread till they are crisp

Cool them down and grind to a coarse powder

Now let’s make a wet masala mix

To a grinder jar add the following and grind to a coarse paste
Chopped mint and coriander leaves

Onions that we just fried
Garlic cloves
chopped ginger and green chillies

Making the seekh kebab mix

Add this wet masala mix to the minced chicken and mix well
Add a pinch of turmeric powder, fresh lime juice and the dry masala mix
Beat one egg in a bowl and add 2 tbsp. into the kebab mix

Add enough bread crumbs so it easily holds shape when you take a fistful of the mix (approximately 2-3 tbsp.)

Pan Frying the kebabs

Take a handful of the kebab mix and roll it into the shape of a sausage
Pass a skewer through it and press it in

Fry the kebab in a pan set on medium heat with some oil and butter
Fry till the kebabs are golden brown on all sides (this should take approximately 5-7 min)
Finish by sprinkling some chaat masala

To infuse a smoky flavor in the kebabs, take a burning charcoal in a metal bowl, add some ghee to it and place on the kebab pan. Cover and smoke for atleast 10 min

Notes

If you can’t get minced meat you can take some boneless pieces and easily grind them
You can burn the charcoal directly on a gas flame or with can charcoal lighter fluid available to you.

Even better if you can barbecue the kebabs! If not just smoke it the way I explained it!
