Ingredients
  • Chicken keema - 500 gms
  • Garlic - 12 to 15 cloves, finely chopped
  • Spring onion - 5 stalks, both whites & greens finely chopped
  • Green chilli - 4 to 5, finely chopped
  • Coriander leaves - ½ cup chopped
  • Turmeric powder - ½ tsp
  • Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
  • Coriander powder - 1 tsp
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. If you are making your own chicken keema at home, then cut the boneless & skinless chicken breasts into small chunks. Then process them in a food processor (using the chopping blade) until you get a sticky mass of minced chicken.
  2. Transfer the chicken keema to a large mixing bowl. Then add all the ingredients one by one to the same bowl except of course the oil.
  3. Now using a spatula mix all the ingredients with the chicken keema and make an uniform mixture making sure all spices & aromatics are evenly distributed.
  4. Once you are happy with the mixture, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes; this will allow the mixture to firm up making it easier to shape in kebab forms.
  5. When you are ready to make the chicken keema kebabs, take about 2 tablespoons of keema mixture and roll it into the shape of a ball between your palms.
  6. Then press it to flatten and give it the shape of a chicken keema kebab as shown in the video. Make as many kebabs as you want in a similar way.
  7. It’s time to start air frying your chicken keema kebabs! Start preheating your air fryer at 190 C and set the timer to 15 minutes.
  8. Spray oil over the bottom of the air fryer basket. When the fryer is preheated, place the chicken keema kebabs in a single layer inside the basket and spray some oil over them.
  9. Air fry the chicken keema kebabs flipping them over halfway through and spraying some more oil on top of them.
  10. Your kebabs should be completely cooked in 15 minutes since chicken keema is made from chicken breasts (even the store-bought ones too) which cook really fast.
  11. Take out the chicken keema kebabs from the air fryer and serve on a platter garnished with fresh herbs or spring onion greens.
  12. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top and relish these juicy, tender & succulent chicken keema kebabs with a favorite chutney of yours!
