Topic: Minced Chicken Kebab

[shark]

I buy these chicken kebabs from my local indian sweet shop, they are really smooth and tasty. Does anyone have a recipe?

Thanks

Glen. ;D

Hi Shark,

Use this link http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=79.0 and simply replace the mince lamb with minced chicken.

I think that you will find these far superior than the shop bought ones.

Another tip, try to use minced chicken thighs rather than the breast meat.  The thighs have more fat content than the breast, and therefor hold their shape better when grilling on the skewers.

Hope that helps mate.

Razor, is it the Razor's Kubideh recipe? Or the seekh one?

Thanks

Hi Shark,

My seekh kebab recipe is this one mate http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4393.0

You may be able to use the kubideh recipe too, but it has a much more subtle flavour than the seekh kebabs, and it is a little trickier to do, but hey, give it a go.

Just one question if I may Shark, why do you want to use chicken instead of lamb, is it just that you don't like lamb, or perhaps worried about the fat content?

Good seekh kebabs do tend to be more flavoursome if the fat content is quite high, that's why I suggest using minced chicken thighs rather than breast, because they have a much high fat content.

Anyway, hope all goes well, and if possible, post some photo's of your efforts.

Good luck,

Ray
