To begin making Hyderabadi Chicken Shikampuri Kebab Recipe, firstly heat 1-2 cups of water in a pan and add chicken pieces, chana dal, crushed cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, black pepper, shahi jeera, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, chopped ginger and garlic.
Cover the lid and cook till the chicken is done and the dal is soft cooked. Discard excess water since more water will ruin it.
Allow to cool and grind everything together to make a fine paste.
Add egg, chopped mint and coriander into the mixture and mix well. Keep aside.
Meanwhile, take a bowl and prepare the filling by mixing the hung curd with finely minced onion, salt, green chili and coriander powder.
Pinch a lemon size ball of the kebab paste and flatten it between your palms like a disc.
Place a small filling of the hung curd and cover up the filling.
Cover from all sides nicely and again flatten it to shape a disc and place on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Heat a skillet or shallow frying pan with a little oil.
Once the oil is hot, fry in hot oil till browned on a medium heat and flip to brown evenly on the other side too.
Transfer the kebabs once shallow fried, on a kitchen napkin to soak excess oil.
