You may have had many kinds of Sheekh Kabab but this kabab as a Part time Starter is truly special - it’s non grilled, not made in Tandoor. Best way to enjoy a Party Time Starter without adding lot of calories. It’s Chicken Sheekh Kabab on Roomali Roti

Take the Chicken boneless breast and cut into small pieces, then add to chopper and mince but keeping to a coarse texture
2

In a bowl add chopped onions, add salt and fold into a muslin cloth, set aside for 5 mins, extract the juice and add to a bowl - this method is needed if Sheekh Kabab would be made later and not immediately

Knead the chicken like a dough and should be smooth, refrigerate for 30 mins - we are not using any binding agent here
5

Take wooden skewers and keep it in a glass with water to help to paste the minced chicken for Kababs
6

Dhuandhar effect - in the bowl where chicken is a dough, place a hot charcoal in a small bowl, add ghee and a clove and cover, rest for 3 mins.
7

Take the skewer and place it upright, add the minced chicken and paste with your thumb and index finger from bottom to top.
8

Take a cast iron grill pan and for 10 mins in high heat, heat it, place the Sheekhs on it and it wouldn’t touch the surface, on high heat, let the kababs cook for 7 mins, turn.
9

Keep turning and basting with ghee until the kababs are cooked, set aside and complete the batch
10

Plate with Roomali roti, onion salad, lime wedge and green chillies and enjoy this unique Party Time Starter
