Method

  • Add 1 lbs. ground chicken in a bowl, I prefer thigh piece cause it’s moist you can also use chicken breast.
  • Add ginger garlic paste in the mince.
  • Then add spices in the ground chicken.

  • Chop 2 green chilies, if you want more spicy you can add more.
  • Chop 4 tbsp. green onion. You can use any onion of your choice like red onion.
  • Now add all the veggies tomato, green peppers, onion and cilantro in the mince.
  • Add ½ cup of corn flour, you can also add roasted baisan instead of corn flour.
  • For binding add 1 egg.
  • (if you don’t want to add egg then it is up to you, in that case reduce the amount of corn flour otherwise your kebabs will be really hard.)
  • Mix everything well.
  • (At this stage if you think consistency of your batter is thin then add 1 to 2 tsp. of corn flour to make it of the right consistency)
  • Turn the flame on, add 5 to 6 tbsp. of oil in a nonstick pan. You can use any pan but nonstick is  better.
  • Grease your hands with oil, take your ground meat and shape it according to your choice.
  • (Make kebabs of a little large than your desired size because on frying it will shrink.)
  • Wait till the oil gets hot.
  • Add your kebabs in the oil and cook for 4 to 5 min until golden brown then flip.
  • Cook the other side for another 3 to 4 min not more than this.
  • Feel free to cook your kebabs according to your taste.
