Re: Seekh Kabab

They dont taste like seekh kabab, they just taste like ground beef.... and they always fall apart. Can you please tell me an easy way to make em? Like if i buy the shaan mix, what else do i need to add to it? How should I mix it? After I mix it do i immediately put it on skewers and let it bake or do i let it sit... Mirch please... help me... LOL.

Re: Seekh Kabab

Ahhhhhhh, Shaan masala.

Yes that is what I use and I follow the recipe of the Shaan masala to the core. But I put some ground nutmeg/jaifal and ground jawatri( I forgot the English name for it). That ground jaifal and jawatri gives it that Shahi/kingsley flavor and makes them more aromatic and appetizing. Also put some biryani color to make them more appealing to eyes.
If you read the directions on the packet they ask you to put some desi ghee or butter or the buy , the qeema with some fat in it. After you have have mixed the masala and the desi ghee or butter or geemas with some fat. Then put it in fridge for couple of hours , that ghee or butter or fat what ever you prefer works as binding agent to make qeema stick to the skewer and to itself when it is cold. You can also put it on skewers right away but then put those skewers in the fridge ,again, to make them bind together and to the skewer.
If I get lazy what I do is I make some roles of aluminum foil and shape the kabab on them and put them on broiling pan and put them in the oven. Quick and easy. If you want to give them that grill roasted flavor use some of that liquid smoke flavor or something else to create some smoke in your oven.

When you are rosting them on a grill use low heat to do so that they get cooked from inside too.

So here is Seikh Kabab Making 101 direct from the University of Mirch Masala. :D

Oh and if you compare them to the ones in the restaurants they mix some wheat flour to the qeema to make it bind and they let it sit which ferments and then gives it that taste and flavor you see at restaurants. Don't do that . It is not the real taste you are looking for though.

Mirch, are you a male or female?

Read my signature. :smilestar: I am a father of 3 kids. Two boys and a girl. She is 8 but she wants to help daddy whenever I cook something. The boys have to be requested to help out though.
I got that expertise in household affairs when my wife was very sick for almost a year and could not do anything around house.
I also come from a big happy family and we had a joint family system so while studying , playing , watching TV I could overhear my mother , sister , bhabies ( I had five of them all living togather) talking about all this stuff.
But trust me back in Pakistan I would not know how to even boil an egg or make tea I knew all the theory but no practical experience. :smiley:
Now I can write a book on adventures of cooking and other household affairs now.

Re: Seekh Kabab

Ok mirch bhai a question....do you bake seekh kababs or broil them or both like first bake them and then broil for 5 mins?

Re: Seekh Kabab

There are three options depending on the amount of time I have and how lazy I am.

  1. Just broil them
  2. Broil and then grill them
  3. Grill only

And now kabab making on the grill has become very easy chore for me because of Kabob baskets I bought they are so handy and convenient.
Let me introduce you to them.

I stumbled upon them at Ross. they were two dollars each. Then I found some at Garden Ridge for one dollar each.

At some stores they are as expensive as 5 dollars each. So do a diligent search if you want to save some dough because depending on your family size and the size of the party you are throwing you will need more than a couple.

Let me know if you have more questions.
