Instruções

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, parsley, onion, green chilies, red chili flakes, red chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin seeds, and coriander seeds.

Mix well for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture is sticky

Note: ensuring there is no excess water in the chicken mince and onions, as this will prevent the kebabs from breaking apart.

Refrigerate the kabab mixture for 2 hours.

Once chilled, make long kebab shapes on skewers and cook them on the grill or pan fry them on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping sides in between.

For the salad: Dice cucumbers, tomatoes into small cubes, approximately the same size

Dice onion into small cubes and soak in water for 10 minutes.

Add all ingredients to a bowl and pour over the olive oil and lemon juice then season with salt. Top with fresh mint, mix together and allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
