Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Ground Chicken or 1/2 kg minced chicken. You can use red meat as well.
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 3/4 cup Red Onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp mint chopped
  • 1 nos egg (optional)
  • 1 nos Green chili chopped or jalapenos
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground/ minced meat and all the ingredients except oil.
  • If you are adding egg, then whisk it in a separate bowl and add to the meat.
  • Mix well for 7 to 10 minutes with your hands to get a smooth paste. While mixing try smashing the meat against the base of the bowl. This will give you a smooth paste!
  • Let it marinate in refrigerator for a minimum of 45 minutes. (I generally leave it overnight.)
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 C or 360 F.
  • If you are using wooden skewers, immerse it in water for 15 minutes before using. This will ensure your kebab coming out easily once cooked.
  • Once the marination is done, wet your hands and form balls with the mince. Take the skewers and press out the kebab. Repeat for all the balls.
  • Take a baking sheet and place a baking liner. Brush oil. Place the skewers on them and brush oil over the skewers.
  • Place them in the oven at 180 C or 360 F for 30 minutes.
  • Keep turning the skewers and brush with oil (if required) in between to get an equal char on all sides.
  • Remove the kebabs from skewers and serve with green chutney and a salad side. Enjoy!
  • You can add a naan/ paratha or roti to make it a meal.

Notes

You can alternatively cook the chicken skewers on stove top or grill it.
