Seekh Kabab – Kebabs on Skewers are one of the most popular Kabab/Kebab. They are made with minced meat, you can use lamb, beef, goat or chicken meat. Generally we try the Seekh Kabab at restaurants however making them at home is incredibly simple. Among all different types of Kabab, the Seekh Kabab is very unique and most delicious.
You might have noticed I haven’t posted new recipe in last few weeks. Unfortunately my father is law had sudden cardiac arrest and he was hospitalized. Let us all pray for his recovery.
Seekh Kabab needs to be grilled, so you can use a traditional grill or griddles. In case you don’t have any of that you can use a heavy bottom pan or grill pan.
It’s easy to make the Seekh Kabab very tasty and full of flavor. We will be mixing several spices to the minced chicken. You can make this for a large group or party. I have used minced Chicken for this Seekh Kabab. Sometimes you will get the prepared minced chicken at the store, which can also be used.
Hope you will enjoy this Seekh Kabab very much. You can find many other delicious mouth watering recipe in my blog.
