Air Fryer Chicken Seekh Kebab

Ingredients

• 500 g minced chicken (or lamb)
• 1 onion, grated and squeezed dry
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp garam masala (optional)
• 1 tsp red chilli powder (optional)
• ¼ cup chopped coriander (optional)
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt, oil spray

Steps

1. Mix the minced chicken with the grated and squeezed-dry onion, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, red chilli powder, coriander, green chilli and salt.
2. Knead the mixture well for 2 minutes until it turns slightly sticky and binds together, which is what keeps the kebabs from falling apart.
3. Wet your hands to stop the mince sticking, then shape into 8 long kebabs around skewers, or as flat ovals.
4. Press each kebab firmly and evenly so it doesn't cook unevenly or crack open in the air fryer.
5. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.
6. Spray the kebabs with oil and arrange them in the basket with space between each.
7. Air fry for 6 minutes.
8. Turn the kebabs over.
9. Air fry for a final 6 minutes, until browned outside and no longer pink inside when you cut into the thickest one.

Tip: Wet your hands before shaping — it stops the mince sticking to your fingers.
