Chicken Seekh Kabab Baked!!!!!

Seekh Kabab is one of the dishes liked by my family. We would often order these in the restaurants. These always looked and sounded very difficult to me however having tried my hands making these kabas I can assure you this is an extremely easy recipe. So what are we waiting for, let’s get started with the step by step process involved in making these kababs.

Ingredients Required:

Ingredients	Quantity
Minced/Ground Chicken      (with some chicken fat)	300 grams
Onions chopped fine	1/4th cup
`Green chillies chopped	1 tsp
Grated garlic	1 tbsp
Grated ginger	1 tsp
Coriander powder (Coarse)	1tsp
Garam Masala Powder	1 tsp
Green cardamom powder	1 tsp
Lime Juice	1tsp
Mint Leaves chopped	2 tbsp
Red chilli powder	1 tsp
Butter/0il	1tbsp
Salt	To taste
Chat Masala	For garnishing

Please Note: 1) for this quantity of meat we would require 6 bamboo skewers (These are easily available in Indian/ Asian stores)

2) The amount of green chilies used here is 2 however depending on your liking you may increase it. I personally prefer it to be mild.

3) To make sure that skewers don’t look completely charred and hold on to the meat well do soak them in cold water for 10 to 15 minutes before use.

Method of Preparation:

• The first trick in making kabas are to remove any water /moisture from the meat. After washing the meat thoroughly drain the water and roll them either with good paper towels or dry cloth for 2 hours.
• Use a blender/mixer to mince the chicken. (If you are using store bought mince chicken all you have to do is follow the first step of washing and removing excess moisture)
• To this add all the above mentioned ingredients except chat masala. Mix them thoroughly with your hand.
• Now wet your palms and take a small portion of the above mixture and make a ball out of it.
• Slowly press this ball around the skewer and flatten it. Make sure the meat is spread evenly around the skewer for the meat to cook evenly.
• Similarly take rest of the mixture make 5 balls and press out kabas.
• Place these on a baking dish and put it in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes at 360 F.
• Now turn sides and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure to check in-between as the temperature settings for each oven is different. In about 25 -30 minutes the kabas are ready to be served.
• Squeeze some lime, sprinkle some chat masala and kababs are ready to be devoured.

Enjoy!!!!!!
