Instructions

  2. Squeeze out the excess of moisture from the chicken mince, if the moisture content is more in the kebabs, they will not hold the seekhs.
  3. Mix the mince with brown onion paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt- to taste, red chili powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, almonds, blanched, peeled and coarsely ground and cashew nuts coarsely ground too.
  4. To that mixture add fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped, green chilies, finely chopped, chicken fat, egg (optional), thick cream/cream cheese/processed cheese and kewra water/screw-pine natural edible essence.
  5. Keep aside for 2 ½ hours. (May be refrigerated)
  6. For the gilaf / covering:
  7. In a platter mix together the finely chopped onions, tomatoes and capsicum. Divide the chicken mince mixture into 8 balls and roll into elongated lengths, then roll these kebabs over the gilaf mixture, ensuring that they are bound properly
  8. Wooden skewers may be used, provided they are soaked in water for 8-10 minutes i.e. shape the chicken mince mixture along the length of the skewers and coat with the gilaf mixture.
  9. Roast in the tandoor for 7 minutes.
  10. If you are using an oven then roast it for 10 minutes at 160°C.
  11. Keep basting the kebabs with melted ghee to prevent it from drying.
  12. For serving the kebabs: In a serving plate, serve the kebabs very hot sprinkled with lemon juice and accompanied with onion laccha salad and mint-coriander-yogurt chutney.
