      CHICKEN SEEKH KABABS

                 

                                                          

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground chicken (feel free to use ground turkey or lamb)
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
½ inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely minced
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 tsp. cumin Powder
1 tsp. coriander Powder
2 tsp. garam masala Powder
1 tsp. red chili powder
1 tsp crushed red chili flakes
juice of ½ lime
salt & pepper to taste
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp oil (canola or vegetable)
freshly chopped cilantro leaves
skewers, metal or wooden
lemon or lime wedges for garnish
vegetable or canola oil for basting

Method:

If you are using wooden skewers, they need to soak in water for 30 minutes so that it will not burn.

In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all the ingredients (except the oil for basting and the lemon/lime wedges) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better).

Then divide the mixture into equal portions and spread each portion onto a skewer creating a uniformly flattened shape around each skewer. Brush them with a little oil.

Grill the kabobs on an outdoor barbeque grill or an indoor grill pan until done. You can also use an oven, just preheat to 350 deg and place the skewers on a foil lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes until cooked. Garnish with lemon or lime wedges and serve with delicious fresh cilantro or mint chutney.
