Instructions

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the fried kebabs to the tomato sauce and toss gently to coat them well. Then, stir in sliced onions, chillies, ginger, and fresh coriander leaves.

Step 6

Serve everything hot and enjoy!

Storage Tips

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.
