Equipment

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 1.3 pounds chicken mince/ ground chicken.
  • 1 medium-sized onion.
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder preferably Kashmiri red chilli powder.
  • 1 teaspoon salt I use Himalayan salt.
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder.
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
  • 2 tablespoons yoghurt.
  • 2 handfuls of coriander leaves.

Instructions

  • Place the ground chicken/ chicken mince in a mixing bowl.
  • Peel and finely chop the onion. Add in the chicken.
  • Put the garam masala, garlic powder, red chilli powder, ginger powder, salt, plain flour and yoghurt into the chicken.
  • Chop the coriander leaves and add them in the chicken.
  • Mix and knead the chicken until everything is thoroughly combined and mixed. If you want, you can use a food processor to mix. Just give it a few blitzes until the mince is well mixed. Leave it to rest for at least half an hour.
  • Heat your griddle pan or oven grill.
  • Take about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat (around 50-60 gr/ 2 oz) and shape it into a cylinder tube around the prepared skewer. 
  • Cook the chicken on the skewer in your oven grill or on the griddle pan. Try to rotate and turn the skewers every so often so the meat will be evenly cooked. 

Notes

  • Leave the chicken mixture to marinate for at least half an hour. But overnight is the best.
  • If you use bamboo skewers, soak them for a few hours before using. If you use metal skewers, brush the skewers with a little oil before using.
