This recipe uses chicken mince but you can, of course, use lamb mince if you prefer.
A Simple List of Ingredients:
1. An Onion
2. Green Chillies
3. Garlic
4. Fresh Coriander
5. Tomato
6. Chicken Mince
7. Red Chilli Powder
8. Ground Turmeric
9. Ground Coriander
10. Ground Cumin
11. Salt
12. Gram Flour
13. Sunflower Oil
Bismillah, let's get started!
First, peel a large Onion.
Roughly slice the onion.
Take 6 fresh Green Chillies.
My mother freezes her chillies - that's why they look a bit frozen.
Peel 3 Garlic Cloves.
Wash a handful of Coriander. Make sure you leave the stalks on because they have the most flavour.
And, take one Tomato.
Roughly chop all of the above ingredients and place them into a blender. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.
Place the paste into a large mixing bowl.
This paste makes a really good chutney as well. Try it with some chappati!
Add 2 pounds of Chicken Mince.
As I said before, you can use lamb mince.
Add 1 teaspoon Chilli Powder, or more if you want.
Add 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric.
Add 2 teaspoons Ground Coriander.
Add 2 teaspoon Ground Cumin.
Add 1 teaspoon Salt.
The next ingredient is gram flour. This is used to bind the mixture together.
Add 5 tablespoons Gram Flour.
Add 1/4 cup Sunflower Oil.
Now, it's time to get your hands dirty and mix everything together. If you want to, you can wear disposable gloves whilst doing this or use a spoon.
Heat a few tablespoons of Sunflower Oil in a large frying pan. You could also use a grill pan.
Shape the kebab mixture into patties and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Like this!
Drain the kebabs on some paper towels and then serve with a salad and some green chutney.

ReplyDeleteI spend a lot of time surfing the net looking for true authentic Pakistani dishes and by chance this is the first time I came across your blog. Can I start by congratulating you for the way you have clearly and concisely presented your recipes with pics during each step. You are a very knowledgeable and kind individual to take the time to share this information with us folk in search of the holy grail of Pakistani cooking. Just reading through your recipes has got my mouth watering, something other recipes haven't been able to do. Whoever has the good fortune to sample the dishes you make must be very happy indeed. I tried your yummy chicken today and it blew me away and I thought I was a very good cook but your dish is something else. Look forward to trying out many more and please keep adding as you now have a new fan over here in the Midlands.
Regards Amjad.

DeleteHello! I have a recipe for Seekh Kebabs but not the drumsticks.
DeleteIf I don't have gram flour on hand, can I substitute with another type of flour? If so, what kind?
ReplyDeleteYou can also use plain flour or cornflour. The flour just helps the mince hold its shape when frying.

Deletesome people use egss in kebabs?do you use eggs
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes I do.
DeleteIf yes how many would you use?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't use eggs in this recipe because I think the chicken mince is wet enough.
DeleteHow many kebabs do you get from 2 pounds of chicken mince
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on how big you make them. I would say roughly 20 medium ones.
DeleteStunning, my step mother-in-law who is Pakastani made me kebabs which were delicious, decided to give these a go, she wouldnt give me the recipe as she wants us to visit more often - lol - my husband is mixed arab/british but lives a western lifestyle, i am Welsh (British) so i have mastered some dishes, i do not have a mincer so used my processor to mince the breasts, worked quite well, the taste of these is gorgeous, made a large batch & took to work, they were gone in 5 minutes. Thank you for the wonderful easy method, the step by step pics are great. I amnow looking through the rest of your recipes.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the chicken kebabs! I love that excuse from your step mother-in-law to get you guys to visit more often. Clever lady!
DeleteGreat idea using the processor! I sometimes do that too when I have no mince in the house.
Thank you for all your kind words and feedback. I hope you enjoy the rest of my recipes just as much as these kebabs.
These turned out absolutely gorgeous! I had no gram flour so used corn flour but kept everything else as you advised. They were gone immediately!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed the chicken kebabs!
DeleteYour recipes are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI wondered whether you can deep fry these kebabs. Also, what is the purpose of adding the oil in the mixture? Jzk
Yes, kebabs can be deep-fried. Oil is added to help the kebabs stay moist.
DeleteI love your recipes! you are so talented and kind for sharing!!!
