Step by Step Cooking Guide

Step 1: Mix Everything (Marinate the chicken)

Take a big bowl and add 500g minced chicken. Now add one chopped onion, 2-3 crushed green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, and lemon juice.

Then add all the dry spices (turmeric, red chili, cumin, pepper, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt). To bind the mixture together, add 3–4 tablespoons of gram flour.

Mix everything very well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Shape the Kababs

After marination, take the chicken mix and make small round or oval patties (like flat balls). Wet your hands slightly with water or oil so it does not stick.

Keep all the kababs ready on a plate.

Step 3: Fry the Kababs on Tawa

Heat a tawa (flat pan) over medium heat with a little oil added. Place the kababs gently on the tawa.

Cook one side for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked. Once done, take them off and keep aside.

Step 4: Saute the Veggies & Spices

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and butter. Add the tomato, onion slices, green chilies, lemon slices, and coriander leaves.

Saute for 30 seconds. Now add chaat masala, cumin powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well.

Step 5: Toss Kababs with Veggies

Add the cooked kababs back to the pan. Gently mix everything so the kababs get coated with the flavorful veggies and spices.

Cook for 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat. Your delicious, juicy chicken kababs are ready to serve!
