How to Make Seekh Kebabs at Home: Complete Guide by Hussain Catering

Seekh kebabs are one of the most loved South Asian delicacies. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, they are a must-have for BBQ nights, family gatherings, and special events. At Hussain Catering, we specialize in authentic seekh kebabs, and today we are sharing a simple home-style guide so you can enjoy restaurant-quality taste in your own kitchen.

What Are Seekh Kebabs

Seekh kebabs are minced meat kebabs traditionally made with beef or chicken mixed with aromatic spices, fresh herbs, and green chilies. The mixture is shaped around skewers and cooked over charcoal or in a pan. The result is smoky, tender, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients Needed for Seekh Kebabs

To make perfect seekh kebabs at home, you need fresh minced meat, preferably with some fat content for juiciness. Basic ingredients include onion, green chilies, ginger, garlic, fresh coriander, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, lemon juice, and a small amount of oil or butter.

At Hussain Catering, we always emphasize using fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best taste.

Preparing the Kebab Mixture

Start by finely chopping onions and squeezing out excess water. This step is very important to prevent kebabs from breaking. Add the onions to the minced meat along with ginger, garlic paste, spices, chopped coriander, and green chilies.

Mix everything thoroughly using your hands. The more you knead the mixture, the better the binding. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes so the flavors develop fully.

Shaping Seekh Kebabs

Take a portion of the mixture and shape it around metal or wooden skewers. Press gently and evenly so the kebab sticks well. If you are not using skewers, you can shape them into cylindrical kebabs by hand.
Professional caterers like Hussain Catering always focus on even shaping to ensure uniform cooking.

Cooking Methods for Seekh Kebabs

Seekh kebabs can be cooked in multiple ways at home. You can grill them on a barbecue for a smoky flavor. Pan fry them in a non-stick pan with little oil. Or bake them in the oven until golden brown.
Turn the kebabs gently while cooking so they cook evenly on all sides and stay juicy inside.

Tips for Juicy and Soft Seekh Kebabs

Always use meat with some fat content. Do not overcook, as it makes kebabs dry. Resting the mixture is key. Adding a small amount of butter or oil enhances softness and flavor. These are the same techniques used by Hussain Catering to deliver premium quality kebabs at every event.

Serving Seekh Kebabs

Serve hot seekh kebabs with mint chutney, sliced onions, lemon wedges, and naan or paratha. They also pair well with rice dishes and salads, making them perfect for any occasion.
