Tips

  • You can make these kebabs with lamb or beef mince instead of chicken.
  • The recipe is a combination of an Adana kebab and a seekh kebab.
  • Marinate the mixture for at least one hour for best results, or overnight if possible.
  • Drain any liquid that collects halfway through baking and redefine the separations.
