Let’s just say I don’t eat a lot of chicken and fish but I do like a balance in my meals from time to time, keeps it exciting. However, I am cooking non-vegetarian stuff for the boys.
Succulent Chicken Seekh Kebabs
I sound as if it’s the first time I’m being vegetarian for the month. We do it all the time so this should be easy for me, right! We’re almost done. Besides, I think I miss the eggs more than anything because I bake a lot and often I have to taste them. These kebabs went down well with some Mint Chutney, Naan Bread and a salad. I’ve eaten before and I know they’re delicious. They didn’t complain about the food so that was a good sign. Tonight they are eating the leftovers whether they want to or not. They don’t know yet so that will be a surprise when they get home…Lol! The moment they enter the door the first thing they ask “Mom, what did you cook today”. The days I say “Nothing, we’re eating leftovers” , you should see the look on their face. As if leftovers is a bad thing.
What is Seekh Kebabs
These succulent Seekh Kebabs is made up of ground meat or minced meat, lamb can work too, and it’s threaded through a skewer. It is aromatic with Indian spices and usually cooked over a coal fire to give it that smokey flavor. But who’s got time to light a coal fire…Lol! I take the easy way out and cook them on the stovetop. Two minutes on each side and dinner is served.
What Ingredients do I need
There are a lot of recipes that use minimal spice for these Seekh Kebabs. I added a little more spice because we love spicy. However, it’s entirely up to you as to how much spice you want to use. You will need Chicken Mince or Chicken Breasts, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chilli powder, ginger/garlic paste, fresh coriander, chillies, lemon juice and salt. It is pretty easy to make and I promise you will love it. I took the easy way out and used some chicken mince from Woolworths.
Cooking the Kebabs
I cooked these Chicken Seekh Kebabs in a little oil, for only 2 minutes on each side. With chicken you have to be careful not to overcook it as the kebabs will be dry. Cooking it for just the right amount of time keeps it tender and succulent.
