Instructions

  • Wash, clean and drain the chicken keema well. Then squeeze it gently to remove the excess water.
  • Give it a pulse once in the mixer. Remove and place a cotton cloth underneath to soak excess water.
  • After a while, in a mixer grind chicken meat, ginger garlic paste, chillies, turmeric, red chilli powder, lemon juice, pepper powder, cumin powder, garam masala, chaat masala, coriander seeds and salt to a smooth paste.
  • To this, add onion paste, bread crumbs, fresh coriander & mint leaves, egg yolk and white of the egg and grind again.
  • Add soaked saffron strands to mixture, mix well and set aside in a fridge for one hour.
  • Remove and smoke the meat with hot coal by placing it in a bowl in the centre.
  • Pour ghee over the hot coal and cover with lid or foil so that smoke shouldn't escape.
  • Let it remain for a while and take out the bowl. Keep it aside.
  • Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
  • This step will prevent it from burning while you cook the kababs. Remove and wipe them dry.
  • Grease the skewers then divide the mixture into equal portions and spread each portion onto a skewer creating a uniform shape around each skewer wrapping it tight.
  • Cook kebabs on a slightly greased frying or grilling pan on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, keep turning in between.
  • Serve them with Onion rings, salad, lemon and Chutney. Enjoy these quick, juicy and delicious kebabs which are ready to serve in no time.
