Preparing Seekh Kabab

The keema is initially washed and put in a filter. It is then pressed in a gentle way so that the water can be squeezed out.
The various ingredients are then mixed into the keema and then they are kneaded well.
This mixture is kept aside for sixty minutes.
Now, a gas or electric oven needs to be heated with skewers.
A sizable ball of the mixture should be pressed on to the hot skewers. At this the meat would quickly stick to the skewer. This process needs to be repeated for the left over portion and skewers.
Skewers need to be put in an oven.
The skewers have to be rotated after few minutes.
After cooking the kababs have to be separated from the skewers with napkins.
Kababs have to be shallow fried in a nonstick pan using only 1 tablespoon oil.
The dish may be sprinkled with a bit of chat masala as well as lemon juice.
