Chicken Seekh Kabab

It was love at first bite when I first ate  chicken seekh kabab six years ago at a fine Indian restaurant.I always wondered what would the recipe be for this yummy appetizer.

Recently I ate the best tasting kabab at my friends place and borrowed the recipe from her.
Thank you aditi for this wonderful recipe

let the kababs cook for 35-40 mins.
Turn the kababs upside down and cook them for another 10 mins or until brown

Notes

Garam masala: use any store bought or home made garam masala.I used mdh chana masala.However Shan kabab masala would be best

Fried onions: I used store bought fried onions from my pantry.Else just finely chop half onion and fry them in a pan till they turn translucent
