Seekh Kababs
Seekh Kababs are made of minced meat with spices and grilled on skewers. These delicious, juicy kebabs can be made with any minced meat you like. I have used chicken,you could use lamb/ goat/ beef .  They are a terrific appetizer but also make a nice side dish to the main meal. Seekh kababs are best served with green Coriander Chutney, salad and naan.

Seekh Kababs are made of minced meat with spices and grilled on skewers. These delicious, juicy kebabs can be made with any …
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (1 kg) Ground Chicken/ Keema substitute lamb/ goat
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1 large Onion chopped finely
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- salt as per taste
- 4 whole Dry red chillies
- 1-2 green chillies optional
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
Instructions
- Take the ground meat and pulse in food processor couple of time to make it to a paste.
And in a pan dry roast whole red chillies, cumin and coriander seeds. Grind the spices when cool.
- Mix the all the ingredients, cover and let it sit in refrigerator for at least an hour.( For best taste I recommend to marinade 2-3 hours)
Soak bamboo skewers in water to prep for the kebabs. (this prevents them from burning)
- Take the marinaded meat from the refrigerator and make it into equal size balls. Take each ball and form it into a long sausage-like kebab while pressing on to a skewer. Do this till the mix has firmly adhered to the skewer. Put some oil on your hands to prevent meat from sticking to them. Do this till all the kebab mix is used up.
- Set the skewers on the grill on directly or on the aluminium foil (If you like the smoky flavor use the charcoal grill). Basting with cooking oil as required, till the meat is done. Gently turn the skewers with a tong as they tend to break easily.
Enjoy with chutney and salad
I grew up with these and absolutely love them. I’ll be going to my parents house in a few weeks and hope our family will sit around the table with a big platter of them. Thank you for the recipe and the memories.
we love kababs too 🙂
