“Seekh” means rods or “skewers.” In most places, seekh is pronounced seek… like, hide and go seek kebab. Seriously, go seek kebab because it’s good. Bahaha – maybe it should be hide and go eat seekh kebabs, so you don’t have to share 😉 Alright, alright – I’m done. Thanks for sticking through that… now, onto the meaty stuff. Seekh kebabs can be made with any ground meat – chicken, goat, lamb, or beef. You have to finely mince the meat in a food processor, combine it with all of the spices and then wrap the meat onto skewers. After that, heat the grill! This kebab is similar to the shami kebab, which is also made of minced meat. Like my shami kebab and malai kofta recipes, this seekh kebab is part of Mughlai cuisine (dishes brought to India from Persia and Afghanistan by Mughal rulers). Prep these skewers in advance, so that they’re ready when you’re ready to grill. I’ll sometimes eat these kebabs right off the skewer (like a corndog). You can also slice them up and serve them with plain basmati rice and a side of grilled veggies with grilled lemons for squeezing. Enjoy! Like this recipe?
