Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the minced chicken, chopped onion, crushed coriander seeds, cumin powder, chili flakes, salt, breadcrumbs, egg, ginger-garlic paste, and coriander leaves. Mix everything well until it’s all nicely combined.

Step 2

Lightly grease your hands with some oil and shape the mixture into medium-sized kebabs.

Heat some oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Fry the kebabs until they turn golden brown on all sides. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.

In a separate pan, melt some butter. Add tomato paste and cook it for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Cook's tip

- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Soak wooden skewers in water before grilling to prevent burning.

Serving ideas

Serve with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal. They also go well with rice, pita bread, or a cool yogurt-based sauce like tzatziki. Adding a squeeze of lemon just before eating brightens the flavors.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on a grill to keep the chicken moist. Avoid microwaving directly, as it can dry out the meat.
