Street Style Seekh Kebab: Ingredients

🍖 Seekh Mix:

1. 500g minced mutton (very fine, 15–20% fat ideal)
2. 1 small onion (very finely chopped, squeezed dry)
3. 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
4. 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
5. 2 tbsp coriander (chopped)
6. 1 tsp cumin powder
7. 1 tsp coriander powder
8. 1/2 tsp garam masala
9. 1/2 tsp black pepper

🧈 For Basting:

2. 1/2 tsp chaat masala

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Recipe

🥣 1. Make the Mixture

Combine all ingredients
Knead until smooth and sticky, about 5 to 7 minutes.

👉 Proper kneading = juicy, non-crumbly kebabs
👉 Chill for 30 minutes

🍢 2. Shape the Seekh

Take a portion → mold onto skewers
Form long, even cylinders

👉 Wet hands to prevent sticking

🔥 3. Cook (Choose Method)

🔥 Tawa/Grill Pan

Cook on medium-high heat
Rotate frequently for even characters

🔥 Oven/Air Fryer

200°C for 15–18 minutes
Flip halfway

🔥 Charcoal BBQ (Best)

Grill till lightly charred with grill marks

👉 Baste with butter/ghee while cooking

🌫️ 4. Smoky Finish (Dhungar)

Place a hot coal in a small bowl inside the pan
Add ghee → cover for 2 minutes

🔥 Locks in authentic smoky aroma

Street Style Seekh Kebab: Serving Style

Serve hot with:

1. Mint chutney 🌿

💡 Pro Tips (Street Secrets)

✔ Use fine mince with some fat for juiciness

✔ Don’t overcook → keeps kebabs tender
✔ Rest the mixture before shaping

❌ Common Mistakes

Coarse mince → dry texture
Wet mix → falls off skewers
High heat without rotation → uneven cooking
