Ingredients
- 500 gm minced chicken
- 1 onion (grated, excess moisture squeezed out)
- 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Prepare the Mixture:

- Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
Refrigerate:
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. This helps the mixture hold together better when grilling.
Shape the Kebabs:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions.
- Take a skewer and shape each portion around the skewer, pressing gently to form an even cylindrical shape.
Grill the Kebabs:
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
- Place the kebabs on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Brush with oil or ghee while grilling to keep the kebabs moist and enhance the flavor.
Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
Notes
- Variation: You can add green chilies for extra spice.
- Storage: Store leftover kebabs in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven before serving.
- Serving Tip: Serve with naan or pita bread for a complete meal.
