ok so we can’t get them right. they tend to break or the chicken ones tend to be naram and a bit geelay from inside even after you cook them all nice.
the ingredients and the taste is perfect, they just break and don’t stay put together.
what are we doing wrong? 
Re: help with kababs
Do you add raw egg to the mix to bind it? If you do and it still breaks, add a tablespoon of cornflour / cornstarch, it binds it well.
Otherwise you can use just a bit of plain flour.
Try not to stir them whilst cooking.
ive never used egg flour or cornflour would b nice 2 taste the diff when i make chicken kebabs its just minced chicken onions green chilli zeera and salt they never break bbq grill shalow fry deep fry never broken taste great and for the mutton kebabs its onions greenchilies salt red chili powder garam masala and grated potato mixed with gram flour n they never break also could tell how u mix ur kebabs x
Re: help with kababs
A little besan always work.
Oh and make sure the oil is the hottest it can be before adding the kebabs.
Re: help with kababs
^yeah and don't use a spatula to turn the kababs in like first 5 minutes. They break if you use spoon and once they do there's really no way to bind them together. If you must turn/stir kababs then just slowly move pan from one side to another(in case of kofta/gola kababs)
Re: help with kababs
maybe you put wrong ratio of onions-onions pani chhortay hain kebabs may agar zyada dal jayen
use besan after bhoon-ing it on tawa to kill the raw smell
Re: help with kababs

Re: help with kababs
I just made some this weekend, and i baked em. However I had to re-heat them for guests so i stuck them in the oven for a lil bit and they got too hard.
How should I re-heat to make sure they are fresh?
Re: help with kababs
you can dip them in beaten eggs (seasoned ofcourse) and shallow fry them when your guests show up.

Just what I was about to say. I mostly bake mine and when they're halfway done, they do tend to tighten and leave water in the dish, which I just throw out and leave only a little bit for steam to work while the kababs are still getting done.
Also, when you're making the kababs, how runny is your kabab mix? If it's already runny, then it's definitely got to do with your ingredients. Or that your mince is not lean...

does she make just add finely chopped onions to kabab mixture or makes a paste out of it? If you make a paste of onions then make sure to strain out all the liquid so it doesn't make the mixture too soft or liquidity. Use a couple tbs of chickpea flour too. It really helps bind all the ingredients together.
