# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Combine ground chicken, grated onion, ginger-garlic paste, chopped green chilies, garam masala, ground coriander, cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric powder (if using), chopped fresh coriander and mint, breadcrumbs, salt, lemon juice, and egg in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until homogeneous. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm.
02 -
Lightly moisten hands with water or oil. Take a portion of the chilled mixture and shape it around metal skewers or soaked wooden sticks to form uniform, elongated cylinders characteristic of seekh kababs.
03 -
For grilling, preheat grill or oven to 220°C. Arrange prepared kababs on a greased rack or tray and cook for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and slightly charred. For stovetop, heat a grill pan with a small amount of oil. Place kababs in the pan and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until evenly browned and fully cooked.
04 -
Arrange cooked kababs atop lettuce leaves on a platter. Garnish with sliced onions, tomato slices, a whole red chili, and present with lemon wedges or mint chutney.
# Notes and Tips:
