Chicken Sheekh Kebab

July 15, 2014 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

It was my first try!!! I am trying to make a sheekh kebab for the very first time at home. 

Kebab is a Middle Eastern dish of pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables roasted or grilled on a skewer or spit. There are lot of variety in Kebabs. Sheekh Kebabs and Shammi Kebabs are made with minced meats.

Kebabs are cooked generally in a tandoor(clay oven). Last weekend I decided to try this on my new grill pan I purchased recently. I am happy to see the output. SK liked it. 
You need,
  • Chicken mince – 500 gm
  • Onion – 1 medium sized finely chopped 
  • Garlic crushed and finely chopped – 1 tbsp 
  • Ginger finely chopped – 1 tbsp 
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander leaves chopped finely – 4 tbsp
  • Red chili powder – 1 teaspoon 
  • Garam masala – 1/4 teaspoon (This is available in all Indian grocery stores)
  • Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon grounded
  • Turmeric – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Green chilies – 3 nos finely chopped
  • Ghee/Oil – 1 tbsp + to brush the kebabs while cooking it
  • 4 bamboo skewers

You have to,
  • Soak 4 long bamboo skewers in water. At least 30 minutes it should be soaked. This will avoid the skewer getting burned, when we place them on grilling pan or oven
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil/ghee in a pan on medium flame
  • Add in onion ginger, garlic and green chilies
  • Saute well till onions turn translucent
  • Remove from fire and add in to the chicken mince.
  • Add all the other ingredients except the oil (which we reserved for grilling)
  • With a wooden spoon mix well
  • Cover with a cling sheet and refrigerate it for 10 minutes
  • Now divide the mixture into four portions 
  • Take a hand full of each portion, mix and roll in the shape of sausages.
  • Insert one bamboo skewer. Brush with ghee/oil
  • Repeat the same with other 2 portions
  • You can leave this rolls in chiller for another 15 minutes or till you are ready to grill. Make sure it is covered.
  • Heat the grill pan on medium flame.( You could even grill it in an oven) 
  • Brush oil/ghee on the pan and place the skewers. Make sure to turn around all sides every 5 minutes. So that all sides are cooked through
  • Slice and serve with rice/roti and raita. 

This recipe serves 4 to 6 persons

I always thought making a sheekh kebab is very difficult task. But no, it is actually very simple. And delicious!!
Notes: 
  • I won’t suggest to reduce the spice level. Kebabs tastes good when it is spicy. 
  • You could make these kebabs in small bamboo sticks. divide the mixture accordingly…
