These famous savoury appetizers are a staple of Indian restaurants, but are notoriously difficult to replicate at home. I’ve experimented with different mixes and through trial and error, have perfected a simple and effective method of producing batch after batch of piquant, melt in the mouth Seekh Kebabs.

  1. Assalaamu alaykum,

    JazakAllah for the detailed instructions. I will be trying this out for the first time.

    After refrigerating the kebab mix, does it need to be to be brought to room temperature before cooking? Or straight from the fridge onto the skewer?

    1. Load the skewers using cold mixture, directly from the refrigerator. This will allow the mixture to stick better.
