We can use minced chicken or boneless chicken for preparing seekh kabab.

If using boneless chicken we should grind them. Else if using minced chicken we can grind the remaining ingredients and prepare kebab.

They go well with green chutney for kebabs.

We can also use grated carrot or zucchini if you prefer.
