Instructions
Marination
- Add onion, bell pepper (seeds removed), green chilies, cilantro, ginger, and garlic paste in a food processor and pulse it several times.
- Don't over-mix it. It will still be a little chunky.
- Add this mixture to the chicken followed by all of the spices. Mix everything, cover, and leave it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Skewers
- Wrap 4 pieces of bamboo skewers into the foil paper to make a flat stick for kabobs.
Shape the kabobs
- Apply water on both hands and get a bigger chunk of marinated minced. Shape the kabob around the skewers. Apply more water if needed.
- You can also shape kabobs with a single skewer.
Frying
- Add oil to a pan and cook the kabobs for 5-6 minutes per side on medium heat.
Serving
- Sprinkle more sumac and parsley before serving.
- Serve with green chutney, naan, or rice.

Notes
Note:
- Sumac is a middle eastern herb. I like to use it. Check my Amazon storefront for more details.
- I like pan-frying the kabobs, but these can be made in the air fryer, oven, or on a grill.
