About This Recipe
Seekh means skewer and kabab is the ground meat mixed with spices and herbs. Meat is securely threaded over iron skewers to cook on charcoal. You can easily find seekh kabab in any Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurant.
My family and I are personally in love with this kebab, especially at dinner. So what I do, I make it in bulk and store it in the refrigerator for later use. Every time I make it, it gives me perfect flavor. As it's not easy to make kabab on bbq every time so I make it on grill and pan. Sometimes I also grill it in the oven with grilled veggies. Steam frying or air frying is also an option to prepare to make it.

Expert Tips
- When using ground meat, make sure to release water from the meat otherwise your kabab will release so much water and will break during frying.
- Always use the proper quantity of ingredients to maintain the best taste.
- If you are using meat tenderizer, (as I use kacha pappita) then monitor the quantity otherwise the kabab will break.
- When threading kabab on seekh or skewer then make your hand tight to tighten the meat together.
- If you are using bamboo skewers then make sure to soak in water to avoid burning.
