The kebab is juicy, relatively easy to make and cooks faster. You can serve them with hot parathas and green chutney for a filling meal.
Take onions in a blender and make them into a coarse mixture. Add in green chilli, ginger garlic paste and coriander leaves to the blender along with chicken mince and pulse few times till combined.
Remove this to a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients. mix well. Set aside for 30 mins to marinate.
Now take a skewer and break it in half if needed.
Wet your hands in water, take small portion of the chicken mince and shape it into log. Now place a skewer in the middle, press it inside, then shape it around the skewers, so it is smooth and evenly spread.
Now melt some butter in a pan, place the kebab over it and cook till golden brown on all sides, keep rotating it and brush with butter all over it.
Serve hot with lemon slices and onion rings.
Notes
Seekh Kebab Mixture Consistency - Make sure the mixture is thick. If it is too loose then you won't be able to shape it. In that case add some bread crumbs to absorb the excess moisture.Chilling the Mixture - Once the mix is made, store in fridge for few hours so it marinates and gets little firm which makes shaping process easier.Over cooking - Don't over cook the chicken, chicken takes very less time to cook. Over cooking will make the chicken kebab dry.
