Steps

Total Time: 45 Minutes (Including Prep & Cooking)

1

Marinate the Chicken (Optional but Recommended):
Marinate the chicken breast with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, black pepper, and salt for 15–20 minutes.
2

Prepare the Kebab Mixture:
Drain and chop the chicken. Add it to a food processor along with shallots, ginger, garlic, green chilies, mint leaves, coriander leaves, and all the spice powders — black pepper, mixed herbs, oregano, turmeric, red chili, coriander, cumin, and garam masala.
Blend everything into a smooth, thick paste.

Mix well until the mixture binds together into a dough-like consistency.

Shape the Kebabs:
Lightly grease your hands with oil. Take small portions of the mixture, roll into balls, and flatten gently to form round kebabs.
9

Coat (Optional):
Roll each kebab in breadcrumbs for a crispy outer layer. Skip this step if you prefer a soft texture.

Heat olive oil (or any cooking oil) in a pan over low-medium flame. Shallow fry the kebabs on both sides until golden and crisp — about 6–8 minutes per side.
Optionally, brush or drizzle a little butter while frying for extra flavor.
